Chapter 288: Two Years

Jarrod's POV:

"Two years," I hear her say from the kitchen.

Her voice is quiet and shaky. Her phone rings but she ignores it. It's probably Aurora or Nathan checking in to see how it went with DS Kentley. She looks lost.

"Two years."

Looking around the room, I search for her phone. It's on the coffee table. A quick look at the screen tells me that it's her brother.

"Your brother is calling you."

"Huh?" She turns to look at me. "Oh. Okay."

We meet each other halfway and I hand her the phone. It stops ringing just before she presses the call button.

"D*mn it."

She redials and pulls the phone to her ear. I walk around her and turn the kettle on. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do now. I don't know how to help.
