CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTEEN
Charlie stopped in his tracks.
Sandy was crying about… him.
He took a step back into the hall. Unbidden, his mind flashed on Sandy’s bright face. She was the light of his life. No matter what he did, she had always loved him. He remembered seeing her outside the Hotel Teatro. She was so small, tiny compared to him, but the bright beacon of her essence drew him to
her like a magnet. He had ran to her just to be near her, by her side. Wherever Sandy stood was a perfect place for Charlie.
He stared at Sandy and Aden for a while before he felt a hand on his arm. He looked down to see Nash. Nash gestured toward his room. When Nash opened the door, Buster zoomed into the hallway. Noelle was sitting on Nash’s bed. Feeling left out, Charlie anger and attitude returned. He grunted at Noelle.
“We hoped we’d catch you,” Nash said.
“Catch me?” Charlie grunted.
“Delphie talked to me after dinner. She said you were leaving tonight and if you left…” Noelle panted with excitement. “You would die and Sandy would die and the baby would die. Nash set his alarm so we could stop you.”
“Why do you care if I die?” Charlie asked. “Sandy’s fine.”
“Sandy’s in trouble,” Nash whispered.
