Only after she finished did he ask, “Can she have a private room?”
Priya gave him a look.
“She already does.”
“Security?”
“Outside the unit.”
He nodded.
I glanced toward the door.
“Is Ethan still here?”
The room went quiet.
Priya looked at Liam.
Liam looked at me.
“What?” I asked.
“Maya,” he said, “the police are speaking with him.”
“That isn’t what I asked.”
“No.”
The word chilled me.
“No, he isn’t here?”
Liam hesitated.
“They haven’t arrested him.”
My heart began to beat faster.
“Why?”
“I don’t know the details.”
“You talked to Ruiz.”
“Briefly.”
“Liam.”
He rubbed one hand over his face.
“Ethan told officers you became disoriented after drinking wine and fell twice. He said he tried to help you up and that you fought him because you didn’t recognize him.”
I stared at him.
“He said what?”
“There are no cameras inside your house.”
