CHAPTER 16

LUCKY

After spending the whole day Saturday and subsequent night in the hospital, Spencer and Jay brought me back to the manor house they share with six other guys. I guess everyone was at work or church or something when we got there because no one was around as they helped me up to the room on the top floor. No one has given me specifics, but I guess I moved in here the other day before my fall.

Apparently, I met some of the guys at the bar at the bottom of the hill when my car broke down the other night. My best guess is they told me the room was open for rent and I begged for it. Considering all of my stuff is in the room already, it only makes sense. Even though I don’t know exactly what led up to my tumble in the woods, I know that these guys did me a huge favor by putting me up.

I’m not surprised that Sabrina figured out a way to get a quick divorce and frame me for the one thing that would get her money. What is catching me off guard is the lengths she went to, according to what Jay told me on the drive over. I knew the woman was devious, but I didn’t think she was downright evil.

“You gonna be alright if I go out to work on a case?” Spencer pokes his head into my room while I am busy pulling items out of the boxes full of things that I don’t even remember packing. “Jay won’t hear if you need anything, but Eli just got home. He’s in the room beneath yours, so if it hurts to yell you can just drop a book or something and he’ll come up.”

Despite the headaches I still get, I have to laugh in response. The way that he’s acting is just so overprotective.

“Yes, Daddy,” I say in response to his overprotective nature. Hopefully he can take a joke because I don’t think I can take my attention away from the jewelry box I just unburied.

I thought I had lost this, but I am glad that I didn’t. My grandfather’s pocket watch and great-grandparents’ rings should be in there. He gave those to me on my wedding day and told me that he hopes I will hand those down to my kid. Of course, the kid never happened, but I never got the chance to give them back to him.

He didn’t use the rings for his own wedding since his parents were still alive when he got married. It should have been my mother to use them, but of course the tiny stones were too tacky for her. I would have loved to use them for my own wedding, but those rings should used when the couple is in love.

As for the watch. I used to pull that out of Gramp’s nightstand all of the time when I was little. Gramps always said that Grandma Juliet was his one and only true love.
