The four of us sat there, Ingrid well on her way to being blitzed again, which Dad did nothing about. He, of all people, knew the path Ingrid travelled. But maybe he wanted her to drink herself to death.
It would save him the problem of getting rid of the burdensome cunt once he decided he’d had enough.
“I heard your boyfriend is throwing a party tomorrow night,” I said across the table to Addilyn in a moment’s lull between our parent’s conversation.
“What’s that?” Ingrid asked, her words slurred.
“That Devon boy—Sheriff’s kid,” I said, watching the princess’s attempt to keep her face passive. She fucking seethed beneath her calm exterior. “He’s throwing a bonfire party at his parents’ place tomorrow. Their whole class is invited.”
“Well, Addilyn won’t be going. She’s having a sleepover at Jenny’s,” Ingrid attempted to claim in a stately, poised manor. Fucking drunk-assed bitch.
A corner of my lip curled, and I raised an eyebrow, daring Addilyn to open her mouth and outright lie. That’d get her cell taken away for a month if Ingrid found out.
“Movie and popcorn night,” Addilyn told me in a sickeningly sweet tone, playing my game. “I can’t stand the scent of woodsmoke. Fires make me nervous.”
Absolute fucking bullshit, but Ingrid bought it.
“I’m not a fan of flames either, Addilyn,” Dad said with a wink. “We had to evacuate Gideon’s childhood home twice because of fires down in California.”
Ingrid asked him about it, but I kept my focus on Addilyn, narrowing my eyes to let her know I knew she lied.
She glared back—but I kept my thoughts and the truth to myself since Dad pretty much gave her his blessing to go.
Stalking and sneaking onto Devon’s property it would be.
