Chapter Seventy One

CharlieI didn't know why it had taken me this long to notice it.Even if it would cost the last drop of my blood, I would make sure Evelyn and my child were safe, I would make right every wrong and every hurt I created with Serena, no matter what it took."I'll get her somewhere safe, no matter what," I murmured, scrolling through my contacts.I called the first Airbnb that came to mind. I had used it before for visiting executives. It was quiet, private, and usually available."I'm sorry, sir," the woman on the phone apologized. "We're fully booked for the next three weeks."I called another."Fully booked, sir."The third gave me exactly the same answer.I dropped the phone onto the dashboard and covered my face with both hands.Every closed door felt like Serena getting one step closer.A hotel wasn't an option.

I deliberately acted as though I hadn't noticed, but I saw every attempt because I wanted her to need me.For three days, she had lingered at the edges of every room, finding excuses to walk past wherever I was. She always paused a little too long before turning away whenever I failed to acknowledge her.I made sure to keep my distance.Every morning, I took Leo to breakfast myself. I asked about his dreams, his favorite cartoons, or whatever happened to be on his mind, giving him my full attention while Evelyn sat across the table receiving nothing more than a polite nod."Uncle Julian, do you want to see my drawing?" Leo asked one morning, sliding a sheet of paper across the table."Show me everything," I replied, leaning forward.Evelyn watched us quietly, saying nothing.Neither did I.The separate room had been intentional.
