took it gratefully and drained most of it with one gulp.
“Russell and Kelly were headed for the scollege,” she said in a miserable tone. “Only an hour away from
here, and they would always promisethat they would visit hon the weekends.” Her voice shook, and she
averted her eyes to her cold tea.
Ava and | shared a look, sympathy for the grieving mother flowed between us.
“Chloe.” Ava murmured with anger in her eyes.
| knew that her thoughts had gone in the sdirection as mine. This was all Chloe's fault. Russell and Kelly had
a great future ahead of them, and Chloe ruined it all with her wicked games. She killed Russell and ruined Kelly's
