At this point in the conversation, Josie was left speechless. Even for her, Wavery, with its friends and colleagues, not to mention the familiar sense of belonging, was indeed a better place.

Yet, she was unwilling to admit it.

Dexter didn’t wait for her response. Hearing her slightly hurried breath on the other end, he said, “All reasons lead back to you being here.”

He also knew that Wavery was the perfect place for her, which was why he returned.

Holding her phone, her palm began to sweat. Josie gave a soft scoff, and without thinking, she said, “You’re too opinionated.”

After Dexter heard that, he let it pass, asking. “Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”

She briefly described the Olsen family’s attitude toward her and the prejudices she faced within their social circle. “As for the police, it seems they plan to keep the matter about Arnold under wraps. You should be aware of this, so I won’t elaborate further.”
