I flush the note down the toilet. When I leave the bathroom, Caleb is there in the hallway just outside the door, as if he’s been waiting for me. “Where is it?” he demands, a growl in his voice. “What are you talking about?” I tell him. He storms toward me, anger in his eyes. “You think I’m an i***t? You think I don’t have you followed? You think I’m so ignorant that I wouldn’t notice the moment you plot against me?” “I haven’t plotted against you,” I tell him. He grabs me harshly by the shoulder. “Then where is it, Harper? Where is the note that bastard passed you?!” “I don’t have any note,” I tell him, calm in the face of his anger. I feel so defeated. “Maybe not now,” he says. “Where did you stash it?” “There isn’t a note,” I say again. I just feel so tired, like I could sleep
