But Cam wasn’t watching the reunion. His eyes were narrowed on Xander, malice pouring off him in waves.

“Cam,” I whispered.

He dropped his eyes to mine, and they didn’t soften, but he gently stroked the bridge of my nose with his fingertip, then looked at my father.

“I make no excuses for what’s about to happen.”

That was our only warning. He climbed from the train onto the platform and charged at Xander.

“There you are, Cam! I was just giving an update!” I heard Xander’s voice despite the thirty feet that separated us. Then I heard his breath expel in a gush as Cam pinned him to the side of the building.

“Cam!” Gideon shouted, racing after him.

I scrambled to the deck and ran.

“How could you?” Cam screamed. “How the hell could you do that to her? She was nine, you asshole! Nine! And you shoved her into that tunnel and slammed the door on her goddamned face!”

I skidded to a halt, realizing that Cam had figured it out, too. He’d been so silent on the trek back here that I wondered if he’d come to the same conclusion I had when I saw the bloodstains. My bloodstains.

“What?” Gideon questioned, voicing pretty much everyone’s exact thought.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Xander countered, putting his hands against the rock, showing the world that he wasn’t the aggressor here.

“I’m talking about you killing your headlamp and shoving Willow into that damned tunnel. You’re the one who broke her nose! Why? Why would you do that? Why would you leave her there?”

“You have no proof! You sound as crazy as Dad!” Xander’s eyes bugged out.

“I remember,” I said loud enough for Xander to hear. His eyes snapped to mine. “The headlamp died, and you said to keep our hands on the wall. But then there was a rush of air, and you pushed me. I stumbled back, and when I tried to run forward to get back to where we’d been, you slammed the door. I woke up on the ground, and when I backed away, I didn’t see the ledge in the dark and tumbled right over it.” Where I then lay for hours until Cam found me, not remembering exactly what brought me there in the first place.

Xander shook his head. “No, Willow, you must be confused.”

Cam pressed his forearm across Xander’s throat. “Try again.”

Gideon stepped forward, but his father stopped him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

“I’m not,” I snapped. “I didn’t remember until I saw the blood. It’s still on the door, Xander.”
