Chapter 320: Mila's Return

He was lucky he changed the subject. "You're aware Mila Martin is back in town?"

Mom looked worried enough I shrugged. "I know, Dad. She's staying here."

Dad flinched at that, Mom's reaction enough I paid attention.

"That girl is a stalker freak." Wow, Dad, nice. Not. "You need to be careful around her, Fee. She's been in a mental institution, court enforced."

"I'm aware of that," I said. "She told me."

Mom glanced at Dad then at me, biting her lower lip. "Do you think she's a threat?"

"I think she's here for Grace." I hated to tell Mom that, considering she was all about Vivian these days. Dad inhaled like he wanted to argue, but fell silent, Mom staring, as the kitchen door swung shut, the devil we spoke of watching us like she'd been there all along.

There was no way she could have missed what we were saying, but Mila didn't seem put off by the fact.
