71: [ ], ANNE, and STURDIVANT
- Me? You won’t be helped.
- Focus your anger on the target, dear.
- You. You’re why we’re here, why he’s not, why they’re not.
- Maybe you should say what you mean.
- Me? What about her? She’s never said a direct word in her life. I’m done dancing to her silence. Why can’t you just face it?
- Face what, dear?
- Eli jumped — or fell, or was pushed — the day you arrived. Rebecca jumped -- or whatever — when she figured out why. Bailey fled from all this when he found out why. You — YOU — are why, what, how, where, and when. YOU.
- Careful, dear.
