Or more likely, he’s thinking about the dead body in the attic upstairs.
That does seem more likely, since he's a COP
I am rusty on this protocol.
Rusty?
THREE MONTHS EARLIER
OH COME ON
The room is tiny.
But it's not your car...
But there’s something else about this room. Something that’s bothering me.
Something...suspicious??
If I were in trouble and trying to get somebody’s attention, nobody would be able to see me back here.
I sense some foreshadowing
“Wilhelmina Calloway?” a woman’s clipped voice says on the other line. I wince at the use of my full name.
THATS YOUR NAME? I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO SAY THAT
I spent the last ten years of my life in prison.
I cannot wait to learn about that
Maybe it means he wants a soft drink. Peri cola—now with a twist of lime!
Definitely not a soft drink
“Please.” He smiles warmly at me. “Call me Andrew.” As he says the words, something flickers over Nina Winchester’s face. Her lips twitch and her eyes narrow.
Tension is a brewing
“Why is the lock to this bedroom on the outside rather than the inside?”
Not. Good.
Sometimes it feels like Nina has a split personality.
She just might, my goodness
I’m not surprised they used it as a storage closet.
Did fthey? did they really?
“No, better not. We might need it.”
For what? To murder your child with???
I don’t even need mace anymore.
I would still keep it close. You did move in to a random families house
“It was just that landscaper guy,” I explain. “He was helping me carry groceries into the house. That’s all.”
You're getting him in trouble! Now he's going to be the first to die
“Yuck! This is steak.”
How does this child not have an "approved foods" list??
The words “spoiled brat” are at the tip of my tongue, but I don’t say them. “She knows what she likes.”
This 9 year old needs to get scared straight by the ex-con
“Millie, I’m happy to give you my clothes but please don’t leave that garbage bag lying around our living room. It’s bad manners.”
What is up with this woman?!?!
I pick up one of the orange pill bottles.
DON'T PICK THEM UP
“As long as you’re not eating in front of Cecelia.” He tilts his head. “Why?” “You know. Because she’s allergic.” They really don’t seem very respectful of Cecelia’s deadly peanut allergy in this household. Even more surprising, Andrew laughs. “No, she’s not.”
That diabolical little child
hors d’oeuvres.
AT FIELD DAY???
Like Enzo.” “At least he’s nice to look at!” Patrice laughs. The rest of them hoot and giggle, although Nina is oddly silent.
What if she had an affair with Enzo??
“I’m not pregnant yet. But Andy and I are seeing this fertility specialist who is supposed to be amazing. Trust me, I’ll have a baby by the end of the year.”
Are they actually seeing a fertility specialist?? I am not trusting ANYTHING this woman says
“She tried to drown Cecelia in the bathtub.”
“Nina drugged her, threw her in the tub with running water, then took a bunch of pills herself.”
If that were true, she would be in prison right now. Forever.
She’s rich, she always has a way out
But really, what can I do? The Winchesters are paying me well,
Ignorance is bliss
And now it turns out she’s also left a couple of dead parents in her wake.
You don’t know that, miss ma’am
wearing a lacy white dress that is wildly inappropriate for summer camp.
SHE is wildly inappropriate for summer camp, who thought that was a good place for her to go??
I love how he wears a T-shirt and jeans on the weekends. I love the way his hair gets tousled when he’s doing physical activity. I love the way he smiles and winks at me.
Woah there miss ma'am. That's a lot of loves
“I’ll go with you.” I raise my eyebrows. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
;:| probably is not a good idea
It seems like spending the entire night with him, just the two of us, is tempting fate. But that’s ridiculous. We’re just going to go to Manhattan to enjoy a show.
She is the queen of delulu
The last thing I want is any trouble.
Foreshadowing!!!!
Then again, Cecelia has been through a lot. Her mother tried to murder her, after all.
She 100% does not know about that
“Do you want me to read the menu to you in English?” My cheeks grow warm. “You don’t have to do that. Just pick out some things you think I’d like.” He looks pleased by that answer. “Okay, I can do that.”
FLIRTING
“You look beautiful tonight, Millie,” he breathes. “I’m not sure if I told you that. But you should know.”
Drunk words and all that
“I’m sure,” Nina continues, “you never got food like this in prison, did you, Millie?”
:0 guffawed
“A customer alerted me that you were stealing items from the supermarket.”
Nina????
And I got a phone call alerting me that a customer matching your description might be planning to take something.”
Yep, Nina
“Forget it. I don’t want to know. It’s none of my business.”
I WANT TO KNOW
“What are you saying, Andy?” “I’m saying… I don’t think I’m in love with you anymore, Nina. I think we should separate.”
Divine retribution!!!
It’s crazy to think that now it will be mine.
Don't get ahead of yourself. This is still a thriller with a "jaw dropping twist", and were only half way through
Nina had to be insane to let this guy get away.
We have confirmed that she is insane
“No.” He shakes his head firmly, his fingers still wrapped around my arm. “You are wrong. She is not—” Before he can get any other words out, the front door to the house swings open again.
This man is always getting interrupted. Just let the man reveal the plot
“I have to say, it’s nice of you to let her keep track of where you are at all times. I don’t know if I would be okay with that if I were you.”
Son of a bitch i should've seen that coming
NINA
WHAT THE HELL?????
And I smile. My first real smile in almost eight years. I can’t believe I finally got rid of that asshole.
WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING
How to Get Rid of Your Sadistic, Evil Husband—A Guide by Nina Winchester
She wrote a fucking guide???!?!?!?!!
But it’s not like he’s asking me out on a date. He just feels bad because of what happened before in Stewart’s office.
This is starting to sound familiar
