Chapter 12 Six months after leaving the psychiatric ward , Issac returned to his role as the celebrated business prodigy , his scarred body hidden beneath designer suits .
Dr.
York maintained regular contact .
You dreamed of Evelyn again last night , didnt you ? she asked gently , Issac gave her an odd look .
Yes , he set down his cup of warm milk .
She wanted to kill me , to take me with her .
I agreed , but every time , Evelyns heart softens .
His hallucinations hadnt improved .
He still believed Evelyn was real .
Dr.
York had learned to go along with it otherwise , hed refuse all treatment .

I see .
But have you wondered why Sophia never appears ? You say youre responsible for both their deaths , yet only Evelyn haunts you .
Why ? Issac fell silent before concluding bluntly : I deserve death .
He remained resistant to therapy .
Dr.
York had accepted this dynamic .
Since he wasnt a danger to others , they couldnt mandate hospitalization .
Medication was their best option .
This suited Issac .
He had no interest in resolving his trauma he just wanted the drugs to numb him enough to function at work .
While people praised his business success , only he knew the truth his current wealth meant nothing .
The money Evelyn had donated to childrens education before her death had become one of only two reasons he kept working .
Hed donated millions , but it wasnt enough .
Picking up his prescription bag , Issac checked his phone in the car .
A message from their college class president : 8 year reunion this Sunday ! All local alumni welcome .
He deleted it without interest and drove to the cemetery .
The Hernandezs had refused to let Evelyn be buried beside Sophia .
Issac had found the closest plot possible , so the sisters could be near each other .
He sat between their graves with a bottle of whiskey .
Sophia , his voice wavered , ask Evelyn for me when will she let me die ? Its Too Late for Your Expired Reørers 8.1 % Chapter 12 Sophias photo showed her beaming , forever young in her college days .
Issac was now past thirty .
The citys winter felt like being trapped in ice .
Issac had surprisingly slept well last night , not waking until eleven .
Turning off his alarm , he got up .
The side effects of his medication meant he could only wake naturally .
Fortunately , there wasnt much urgent business today .
He recalled Dr.
York suggesting that spending time in nature might help his mental state .
Though skeptical , he couldnt think of anywhere else to go .
Besides his psychiatrist of three years , he had no friends , no one to confide in .
Perhaps following her advice more often would make her job easier .
Looking through his closet , Issac realized no one had helped coordinate his outfits since Evelyns death .
For both business functions and daily work , he stuck to simple , foolproof combinations .
Todays down jacket and cargo pants didnt really match , but his tall frame made it passable .
He picked the farthest park his GPS suggested .
Though he had no interest in recreation , the long drive with soft music might clear his head .
The hour long journey played through Evelyns favorite playlist twice .
Evelyn used to get carsick , so Issac always drove smoothly , keeping sour plum candies in the glove compartment .
At a red light , he reached over and took one .
The familiar taste calmed his growing anxiety .
As he crunched the candy , something bumped his car from behind .
In the rearview mirror , he saw a young woman on an electric scooter , looking terrified at his Porsches rear bumper .
Im so sorry, sir , she said , eyes welling with tears .
Issac glanced at the scratch on his Panamera and shrugged it off .
The girl insisted , Please , let me pay for it .
Can I get your contact information ? She was young , reminding him of Evelyn in college , rushing across the cold city to her tutoring jobs .
Dont worry about it , he said .
She persisted , but Issac knew the repair would cost at least $ 30,000 .
Irritated , he simply drove away .
In the northern winter , the trees stood bare .
Few children visited the park this season , but as he entered , Issac heard laughter .
He glanced toward the sound and walked away , uninterested .
