Chapter 11 - THE HOUSE HE PROMISED
Noah eventually returned to the Harrison home under supervision to collect several belongings Andrew had quietly stored there.
Megan watched as Noah walked through the rooms.
He looked at the grand staircase.
The photographs.
The family portraits.
Ella’s toys.
Then he stopped outside the guest room.
“This was supposed to be mine,” he said.
Megan looked at Andrew.
Andrew looked away.
Noah opened the closet.
Inside were boxes.
Clothes in his size.
Books.
An unopened baseball glove.
Megan felt cold.
Andrew had already been preparing the room.
Not openly.
Not honestly.
But physically.
The plan had been real.
Noah turned toward him.
“You were going to bring me here without telling her?”
Andrew answered softly.
“I didn’t know how.”
Noah’s face hardened.
“You never know how.”
