Emmy. Or both of you. Whatever.” Audrina said.
    Emmy looked at Daniel who then came walking beside her.
    “Are you okay?” Emmy asked Audrina.
    “I guess.” Audrina said. “I’m a bad weed, I won’t die that easily.”
    For some reason, this made Emmy laugh. “You’re insane.” She said.
    “But you love me for it.” Audrina smiled.
    “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
    “Eating that cake?” Audrina asked. “Yeah.” She said. “I mean, I don’t want you or your father to eat it. And besides, I wanted your dad to realize that something wrong is going on. He’s just too nice to face things.”
    “That’s what I told him, too.”
    Audrina took a deep breath. “It’s so crazy.” She said. “It’s like, someone really wants to drag you guys down. I have a bad feeling that Tripp really is behind this but someone or a couple of people are possibly helping him.”
    “I saw Serena at the carnival earlier.” Emmy said. “She told me that Lena actually adopted Frank. She also said that she feels like they’re not telling her about something—“
    “Oh poor girl.” Audrina said sarcastically.
    “Anyway,” Emmy said. “What if Frank or Lena actually brought that cake to the house?”
    “That’s possible.” Daniel said. “I mean, with Serena being at the carnival…she may have seen them and since according to her, she has no idea about what’s happening, she probably decided that she shouldn’t be there and all that—“
    Just then, the doctor and a nurse came inside the room with Lena McMahon trailing close behind.
    “So, the usual suspects are around.” Lena said in way of greeting.
    “Oh you have got to be kidding me.” Audrina said. “Why is she even here?” She asked the doctor.
    “We thought that it was right for her to be here since she’s the head investigator and she may know—“
    “Of course she knows!” Audrina said. “She is behind this.”
    “Miss Naimero, I think you’re just hallucinating. You have to calm down.”
    “I’ll calm down only when you take her out of here.”
    “There’s no need for that.” Lena said. “I’ll leave.”
    “Because you’re so scared that your cover would be blown now?” Emmy asked.
    “Be careful, Miss Byrne.”
    “You won’t sue me, Lena. I know you.”
    “Ladies, this is getting out of line.” The doctor said. “Miss Naimero has to rest. Please, I order you all to get out, clear your heads.”
    “No, leave them be.” Lena said. “Audrina needs some people to be with her.
    She then went out of the room.
    “Miss Naimero,” the nurse said, “please take a rest now.”
    “Oh I will.” Audrina said. “And never bring Lena back anymore. She’s going to kill me, that woman.”
    “You heard her.” Emmy said.
    Soon enough, the doctor and the nurse went out and left them all alone in the room.
    Emmy took a deep breath. “Lena’s insane.” She said. “But what frustrates me is that…this is still all like a big puzzle…and I have no idea how I can make the pieces fit.”
    “You know what that means, then?” Audrina said. “It means you can actually make things fit. At least, sooner or later, you will.”

CHAPTER 11
I NEED TO SEE YOU
    “The bacon won’t eat itself, you know.” Daniel told Emmy as they were having breakfast the following morning at a restaurant near the hospital. If it was a different day, Emmy would have appreciated that they were under cherry trees and that the restaurant was beautiful in all its warmth and simplicity.
    But because things were the way they were, she couldn’t focus on what’s around her right away. Instead, her mind was focused on what happened to Audrina and on what could still happen if they don’t end things now.
    “What?” Emmy asked Daniel absent-mindedly.
    “Nevermind.” Daniel said.
    “I’m sorry.” Emmy said. “I know you want to talk about the wedding and I want to do that, too, but I’m just…I have no idea what to feel, you know? It’s like
