Tessa sat in the taxi, planning to go straight to the Channing Family.
But halfway through, she asked the driver to change direction and headed to the coffee shop currently run by Shirley Lawson.
She thought of the person Faye had always arranged to be by her side, the mysterious figure who always managed to save her in times of danger.
If she went to find Aaron Channing, he would surely inform Faye of her whereabouts.
Faye, knowing she went to find Aaron, would undoubtedly suspect that she had remembered everything.
For some reason, a voice inside her kept insisting not to let Faye know everything.
At the coffee shop, she first had a brief chat with Shirley, asking her to help find Aaron's phone number. As soon as she got the number, she called him.
"Hello."
The voice on the other end was somewhat heavy and cold, vastly different from the kind and gentle voice she remembered.
This gave Tessa a feeling as if it were a lifetime ago.
