As they left, Margot pressed her hand to Evan’s, her version of a warning. “She’s hiding,” she signed firmly. Evan knew that Margot was a sharp woman who caught the undercurrent of situations and that her lack of hearing only made her more acutely aware of people’s true natures. He also knew that Lena Gray fascinated him more than she should.
One day, Evan was jogging in a park nearby when he spotted her. He meant to quickly say hello and be gone. But she was walking fast and did not notice him waving. She was glancing furtively behind her. He wondered suddenly if she was being followed by someone. He quietly slipped behind her just to make sure she was okay.
