I breathed a sigh of relief when we left her storage room office. The air was clearer and there were no tiny, pale bottoms waiting to spring out at me at any turn. We walked down the hall to where Dean Underwood’s office door stood closed. I saw that his name was still on the plate, a sad reminder that his memory would linger on. Sure, he hadn’t been the most supportive or sensitive, but in the end, he’d taken care of all of us, keeping us safe, being the firm hand to do his best to protect us from the scary world out there.
His death still felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake from.
My heart patterned as Counselor McIntosh turned the knob and pushed in.
The office looked exactly as it had when Macgregor was alive. No book was out of place. The stately wooden desk and leather office chair were in the same position. The only new element was the woman standing at the window with her back to us. She had perfectly coiffed blonde hair in a shoulder-length bob. Her clothes were fashionable and expensive, yet very feminine down to the kitten heels she wore in all black.
“Bonnie, I have someone here for you to meet.”
“We’ve already met,” she said, turning around. Rowan’s mother gave me a warm smile. “Hello, Charlie. It’s good to see you again.”
