sum of money if he kept me in here. I’m not paranoid because it’s all true.” I watch as her eyes turn into saucers and she flips through my file, undoubtedly checking to see if some facts are true before looking back to me.
“Well, I see. I think I need to review your file more thoroughly before our next session.” She relents.
“Great.” I say flatly.

Two hours later and one disgusting dinner of mystery meat and frozen vegetables I’m back in my room and staring out the window. I don't know what Colin’s up to or if he went back to Searsport but I will stand at this window all night if it means possibly seeing him.
It’s near seven when I see movement in the empty courtyard below. I’m so excited I could burst. I stand frozen at the window staring down until he’s close enough to make out. The window fogs momentarily when I finally exhale. Like every night for the last three days I move left and put my palm to the glass and smile at him. The smile he flashes up at me melts me. His hot little dimple and lopsided grin only remind me how much I miss his touch. He reaches into the bag sitting next to him and pulls out another poster. Shining the flashlight on it I read tonight’s message.

I want to kiss every inch of you.

I laugh to myself and nod my head at him hoping he can see that I want that too. His smile falters a few moments later when there’s nothing for us to do but stare at each other in silence through a barred window. I blow all my breath on the window letting it fog up and trace, your smile makes me melt , backwards with my finger. It takes him a couple tries and me losing my breath trying to keep the window fogged before he understands and beams his heart melting smile back up at me. A few minutes later he wraps his arms around himself and shivers before waving goodnight to me. I’m sad to see him go but he can't stand outside staring at me all night and soon Manny will be in with my pills and I’ll be forced to sleep anyways. I wave back and blow him a kiss, which he catches before blowing one back to me. With a final wave I watch him walk away and hope like hell he will be back tomorrow.

I lurch up grasping at air as tears stream down my face. When I’ve gathered my wits enough I pull my knees to my chest and steady my breath. The nightmares are gruesome and disturbing and all end with Colin dead. Wiping the tears from my cheeks and the sweat from my brow I lay back down to try and sleep.

“I will not sign them! I don't care what they think they have on me!” I scream into the phone at my lawyer. “Do what you’re supposed to or I’ll hire someone else!”
I slam the phone down and curse myself silently as it shatters. I’m so mad I can’t see straight. My lawyer actually had the balls to suggest that I sign the divorce papers and walk away before criminal charges are filed. They can’t tie me to Mick so what the hell do I have to bow down to her for? Dr. Rand has fled to God knows where after Elle’s little speech this week so he’s not a problem anymore unless he resurfaces but I highly doubt that will happen. I haven't been able to get a hold of Mick in weeks now and it’s starting to irk me.

I fold into my TT and pull out the driveway. My brain is churning a thousand different scenarios around. It’s time to pay a visit to Alister. If Elle wants her freedom and her money and this divorce I might be willing to give it to her if there’s something in it for me. If I can pitch this just right I can wipe out my debt to him and take care of Elle in one shot. I put up with her for too long and gone through too much to walk away empty handed at this point. Alister doesn't like interruptions to his evenings but I just need to buy myself a little more time.

“That’s wonderful news!” I squeal into the phone. Ben pokes my side and shoots me his ‘tell me what’s up’ look. “Yes, yes I’ll come up tomorrow, we all will!” I hang up the
