Tori and I were at Albert’s estate. I had made a deal with him, and it was time for me to get the four jobs done. Tori had come with me, but she would only be there for the weekend. Tori shifted next to me, and I looked over at her. We were waiting for Albert to join us in the living room, but I could tell she wasn’t all that comfortable.
“You don’t have to be here, you know,” I said to her. Tori’s gaze met mine, but she shook her head.
“I don’t have to be, but I want to be. The last time I was here, it was about meeting Albert and Ralphal…about seeing into a world you have grown up in…this time…this time it’s about the jobs,” she said, and I nodded. “I want to be here, love,” she added. I didn’t say a word on that because I didn’t want her here. I didn’t want her to see me in act
