---- I put my phone away and looked up to find David leaning casually against the doorframe, his arms crossed, watching me. "What?" I asked. "Don't you think it's a little too convenient? He promises not to drive Emma anymore, and suddenly his college buddy needs help moving?" "Matthew wouldn't lie to me." "Are you sure about that? For all you know, he could be helping Emma settle into her brand-new apartment right now." David raised an eyebrow. Asinking feeling hit my stomach. At 9:00 pm, I started a video call with Matthew. "Are you home alone?" I asked. "Of course. Who else would be here?" He flipped the camera around, showing the apartment. It was empty and quiet. It was just him. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. ---- "Sophie, you've got to trust me." "Good night, Matthew." Just as I was about to fall asleep, a push notification lit up my phone. Emma had posted something on Instagram at 11:00 pm. And just like that, any hope of sleep disappeared.
