The Inmate

by Freida McFadden

So after a car wreck killed both my parents at the end of the school year, I decided not to sell the house where I grew up. This was the fresh start Josh and I needed.

There's no way they're just going to gloss over that????

Tracy Gifford is the girl who was found dead over the summer. Obviously, none of us have been on a date with her. But then Tim raises his cup. And he takes a drink.

There's no way at this point I'm expected to believe that Tim isn't the actual murderer and Shane took the fall for it.

I’m used to getting a sympathetic look when I tell people I’m doing this all by myself, but that isn’t the look Tim gives me. It’s something different. I can’t quite put my finger on it.

I'm just going to label red flags at this point.

After all, ten years ago, he saved my life.

Sure he did

“It was Reese.” His eyes are like saucers, now that he has my attention. “It had to be. He’s the only one who—”

Finally someone said it

Like if Shane leaned in and kissed me.

Girl there's no way you haven't seen this man in 10+ years and you're ready to fold this fast bffr.

I can’t imagine what it’s like for Shane to deal with this guy every single day of his life.

NOT YOU FEELING BAD FOR HIM? When according to you this man tried to kill you.

Can’t you just trust us for once, Brooke? We’re doing this for your own good.

They know something you don't

And suddenly, it all makes sense. Why Hunt hates Shane so much. Why he’s made it his mission to torture him.

NEW DEVELOPMENT

“Hey.” He squeezes my knee. “Why don’t you grab a bottle from the wine cellar? I think we could use a drink.”

i forsee this not going well

Tim and Shane did it together.

Alright i got to admit i didn't see that coming

Pamela Nelson looks very different from the way she did a decade ago.

Alright now THIS i didn't see coming

“When Shane was five years old, I fell in love with your father.” Her voice cracks slightly. “We were together for almost a year. He was supposed to leave your mother for me.

OH????

waited until Shane was standing under one of the branches. I reached up and shook the branches, and all the ice fell on him.

THERE'S NO WAY

And I swung it again. And again. And again.

no. way.

I had to do what I did.

It runs in the family i guess
