My Grandma’s Old House

“Don’t expect me to get involved.”

“Layla, I’m at your grandma’s house.”

“What? Why?”

Maybe he’d come around. Maybe he wanted to surprise me.

“I found something. I don’t even know what to say.”

My stomach dropped. Water damage? Mold?

“What did you find?”

Maybe he wanted to surprise me.

“Just get here. Now.”

He hung up.

I drove too fast. He was waiting at the front door, pale and quiet.

Declan is never quiet.

“What’s going on?” I asked as I got out.

“Come inside.”

“Now.”

He led me through the house to the storage room off the living room.
