Chapter 6 - THE GIRL WHO WALKED AWAY
Nora resigned the next morning.
She packed her belongings.
Returned her keys.
And refused Vincent's attempts to speak privately.
Camila cried when she learned Nora was leaving.
Nora knelt beside her.
“I'll visit if I can.”
Camila touched her cheek.
“Don't go.”
Nora's eyes filled.
“I have to.”
Camila looked confused.
Then whispered:
“Thomas hurt him.”
Nora froze.
“Who?”
Camila gripped her hand.
“The elevator man.”
Nora's breath caught.
Camila began crying.
“I heard him screaming.”
Nora held her gently.
For a moment, Camila seemed fully present.
Then she whispered:
“He didn't die.”
Nora stopped breathing.
“What?”
Camila looked toward the window.
“They took him away.”
Nora stared.
“Where?”

Camila closed her eyes.
“The house by the water.”
