Chapter 54

• APRIL
• When we get back to the house, Diablo disappears into his study, closing the door behind him. The sound of it settling into place feels final, like a decision made without me. During the entire drive home, his thoughts were clearly somewhere else.
• Words came out of his mouth, polite enough, even gentle, yet attention stayed locked on something I could not see. Trying to read his moods feels like working on a puzzle with half the pieces missing.
