In Her Arms Quotes

“When the police found Brynn that fall, Adam had no explanation. Shattered wrists, sunken face, and a broken leg – it was never clear what had happened. Bailey found her at the bottom of the stairs and called for help. Adam sat in the parlor, tipping cigarillo ash into the glass tray. Though the charges for assault were dismissed due to lack of evidence, Bailey couldn’t escape her suspicions, and by Christmas, she moved away. The divorce papers arrived in the mailbox, crinkled and brief. Adam pulled them from the box and walked toward the house. Looking up, he was sure he saw something falling from the sky.”
