“You’re Justin?”
Something uncomfortable passed across her face.
He nodded.
Something uncomfortable passed across her face.
“You’re twelve.”
“Yeah.”
She looked at me.
“Why was he managing her house?”
“Why was a twelve-year-old doing all this?”
I felt my spine stiffen.
“Excuse me?”
“Why was he managing her house?”

“I didn’t know about the notes.”
Caroline stared at me.
“You didn’t know?”

“She didn’t like people checking on her.”
Justin cut in before either of us could say something worse.
“Dorothy didn’t tell anybody.”
Caroline turned toward him.

Justin rubbed his palms against his shorts.
“She told me people make a big deal out of everything.”
