Something Wicked (2013)
“Savvy was seated across from both Hale and Declan, half watching the news, half worrying about what Hale was thinking about what she’d told him. He’d basically shut down after she told him about Declan Jr. and DeWitt’s comments about Charlie and Kristina; he was still clearly processing everything. When she’d tried to go to her car to bring in her bag with the breast pump, he’d stopped her and gone to get it himself. She had the feeling he didn’t want her to leave, and she didn’t want to leave ...at all, but as the hours stretched by, she wondered what the hell she was doing. Marking time. Locked in this cocoon of safety.
But there was a killer out there. Her sister’s killer. And she could pretend only so long that she was Hale’s “wife” before reality jabbed at her conscience. She was a cop. She wasn’t really little Declan’s mom. She was living in a fake world, and though she longed for it in a way that surprised her, it wasn’t her reality.
