“Abbie, talk to me. What’s going on?” “Get me out of here,” I begged. “Please God, Dave. Get me away from Hallow Ranch.” His eyes scanned mine, his brow furrowed. “Abbie, did he hurt you?” No one would ever know how much. He hurt me every single day since the day I left. His absence was painful, but his presence was my damnation. I couldn’t tell Dave that, though. There was so much left unsaid, hiding in the dark where they would forever remain. I shook my head, choking on a sob.
