Tell me again about the first time the two of you played chess in the park.”
Jameson’s face was candlelit, but even in the scant light, I could see the
gleam in his dark green eyes.
There was nothing—and no one—that set Jameson Hawthorne’s blood
pumping like a mystery.
“It was right after my mother’s funeral,” I said. “A few days, maybe a
week.”
The two of us were in the tunnels beneath Hawthorne House—alone,
where no one else could hear us. It had been less than a month since I’d first
stepped into the palatial Texas mansion and a week since we’d solved the
mystery of why I’d been brought there.
If we’d truly solved that mystery.
“My mom and I used to go for walks in the park.” I shut my eyes so that
I could concentrate on the facts and not the intensity with which Jameson
locked on to my every word. “She called it the Strolling Aimlessly Game.” I
steeled myself against the memory, letting my eyelids open. “A few days
after her funeral, I went to the park without her for the first time. When I
got near the pond, I saw a crowd gathered. A man was lying on the
sidewalk, eyes closed, covered in tattered blankets.”
“Homeless.” Jameson had heard all of this before, but his laser focus on
me never wavered.
“People thought he was dead—or passed out drunk. Then he sat up. I
saw a police officer making his way through the crowd.”
“But you got to the man first,” Jameson finished, his eyes on mine, his
lips crooking upward. “And you asked him to play chess.”
I hadn’t expected Harry to take me up on the offer, let alone win.
“We played every week after that,” I said. “Sometimes twice a week,
three times. He never told me more than his name.”
