Chapter 12 - Tyler Returns With a Candle

Tyler avoided Helen for six days.

Then he appeared carrying a grocery-store cupcake with one candle.

“I thought maybe we could redo it.”

They sat at Helen’s kitchen table. No cameras. No phones. No metal

container.

Helen made a wish and blew out the candle.

Tyler cried.

He admitted Melissa had later ordered him to delete their messages.

Instead, he backed them up because he finally understood something was

wrong.

“Does doing the right thing afterward cancel what I did?”

“No,” Helen said.

Tyler nodded. “I didn’t think so.”

Helen smiled.

“That means you’re learning.”
