This was exactly what I'd been waiting for. Lilith had given me the perfect opening. I'd feel bad not making the most of it. "Ms. Moore, what do I need to do for you to let me talk to him for just a minute?" I asked, setting my pride aside.

Lilith glanced around, then suddenly took off her bracelet and tossed it into the man-made lake." Alright. Jump in there and find my bracelet. Then maybe I'll ask Charles to let you waste his time for a few words." It was a winter night. The lake wasn't deep, but it was freezing cold. "It's winter. I can't go in," I said, frowning with a hint of pleading. Before Lilith could say anything , Charles suddenly said, "Just do whatever Lily says." "Charles, it's the middle of a winter night.

You want her to dive in and look for a bracelet ? Isn't that too ---- much?" Horace reached out to stop me from agreeing. I let my tears fall and pleaded with Charles for mercy, "Charles, I really can't..." He cut me off sharply, his face cold, "Either jump or get out of my sight forever!" That left me no option-jump or never see him again.
