Nora & Colton — The Secret Beneath the Bed
I could recall the smell of coffee from the corner café and the squeak of the main entrance doors.
But I didn’t remember a Harbor Vale sign.
Evelyn arranged a meeting with the facility’s records officer to review who had handled my discharge paperwork.
Before she could finish, I remembered something else: a woman had visited me during rehabilitation.
I had known her by her voice.
She brought violet-scented hand cream and called me “darling” even though we had never met.
I had assumed she was a volunteer.
