“I’ve got all the time in the world,”
Of course he remembered, because that wasn’t the only thing that had happened that day.
“All of you. Destroy everything you touch!” Andrew spat.
There was time for that. She had time.
Jet had time to find the right thing; she had all the time in the world, remember?
She’d only seen him cry once before like this. A guttural, primal sound. She hoped she’d never have to hear that sound again; seventeen years wasn’t long enough.
So what happened when she was ten
She wanted what she’d always wanted. To do something, achieve something big, something undeniably great, to prove that she could. So that life could finally begin. Jet had played the waiting game too long, and now she was out of time. She’d run out of road, and she’d run out of later. Someone had taken them from her. But not all of it.
“Do something?” Mom cried. “What do you mean? Do what?” Something great. Something no one had ever done before. “I’m going to solve my own murder.”
“Luke.” Detective Ecker turned to her brother. “I know you must be tired, but I didn’t get a chance to take your statement at the hospital. Can I talk to you now?” Luke coughed
He coughed, that’s suspicious
a pool of blood, drying but not yet dry,
Hasn't it been two days
They left Reggie alone,
Interesting that they didn’t kill the dog
taken my phone
Why would they do that
“Jet, hi,” Sophia said, a tremble in her bottom lip. “I’m just…just so sorry…”
What is she apologizing for?
That’s when Jet noticed it, the graze on his knuckles, both of them actually. Freshly scabbed, the surface cracking when he tightened his grip on the cutlery.
“Did I?” “Yes, you did. The doorbell camera recorded you. I can show you the video if you don’t—”
The “Did I” sounds very suspicious. How does she not remember she went inside
Sophia laughed, too much breath behind it.
4:52 p.m. It had the seconds too, ticking up in angry red digits—red for danger, and blood, and mistakes.
Freaking red again
“I didn’t think you were terrible.” Lie.
Why did she think he was terrible? What happened? What did he do?
This one’s called For Her.”
“Sooooo.” Jet leaned across the table to prod Billy in the arm. “That song you wrote, it’s about a girl you like, huh?” She leaned even closer, whispered: “Who is she?”
It's really really obvious that is it about her. Billy is acting weird and he mentioned a laugh like an old man!!
Infants’ Tylenol.
uh oh
How was Sophia texting from a phone she’d left behind?
When Luke and Sophia were supposed to be here, together, in this house.
“Like seven, eight months ago.
Oh my god this is like the first time in a Holly Jackson book that it isn't "six, seven"
“We have plenty of time,”
“This is literally two minutes after we drove away from the house,” Jet said, watching as Sophia’s blue Range Rover peeled into the drive once more. “Weird,” Billy muttered. “Almost like she was close by, waiting for you guys to leave.” “Almost,” Jet agreed.
“Does Billy know?” she called. “What you did to him? How you ruined his life?”
“If you tell Luke about the pills, Jet, I’ll tell Billy about his mom!”
“Duct tape?” Jet asked, pulling the closet door open, missing the handle the first time, scrabbling to its left. “Why do we need duct tape?”
duct tape again!
But the spreadsheet called her a liar, because his name still wasn’t here.
I know it's not google sheets, but does Excel have a history? She could look and see the exact date it was edited and the names removed
“Invoice fraud?” Jet said in a small voice. “Has Luke been committing invoice fraud? Pocketing the difference?”
“Insurance fraud too. Because he’s misreporting the number of employees to their workers’ comp insurance provider. And if one of those unreported employees doesn’t have workers’ comp, it means that if something happened at work, if they got injured, they wouldn’t have access to healthcare or salary compensation.”
That's why Henry can't get surgery and he is going to go blind
“I smelled gas.” “Me too.” Jet coughed. “Someone set fire to it.” “While we were inside,” Billy added. Jet looked over at him. “Because we were inside?”
Now the evidence against Luke is gone!!!! 😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬
“Is that…is that a drone over there?” Jet squinted.
Owen...?
And Billy stood there and took them all, holding up her towel.
so sweet 😭😭😭😭
“And that means you would have had to pay the hospital for all of it, all the surgeries, the treatment, the overnight stay. And I can imagine that was an unpleasant surprise. A lot of money.
Waiiiit that is why JJ took her money!!
“Yes, Billy, I love you.” Billy tensed, tensed even more as Jet brushed against him, leaning forward, fingers on the trackpad.
She is so oblivious!
“I have time,” she said as they crossed the street.
And you were mine—m-my best friend.
secret about Luke,
Then maybe this is Luke's motivation
speaking loudly over the guilt,
Ok I've been wondering this whole time, WHAT DID SHE DO TO BILLY'S MOM?! Did she for some reason kill her? When the freak are we gonna know, she is going to DIE TODAY!!!!!!!! I wanna scream they have no time left!!! This rabbit hole must reveal her killer before she dies!
It’s about all of those small moments I missed while I was waiting.
because I—”
NOOOOOO! I HATE when they get cut off right when they are about to say I love you 😭😭
But Jet had the time.
“That’s fine,” Billy said, dropping his eyes. “You can love something without needing it to love you back.”
“I think we have time.”
