She barely registers Harley's hug, but leans into it all the same. Caspar puts a hand on her knee in an effort to keep her grounded. To keep them both grounded.
It's a truth that she doesn't want to face. She keeps her eyes squeezed shut, as if somehow that will keep it away. How can someone she considered a friend turn out to be a sadistic killer? Not only sadistic, but willing to use that sadism to toy with her? Josh has always treated her kindly, doing whatever he can to make her happy...
Harley's question is answered with a subtle nod of her head and a soft groan. All the strange things that Josh said and did come rushing back as huge red flags. She should have known. She especially should have known since Halloween. Why had her own intuition failed her?
Beside her, Caspar stiffens at the news. "Someone was threatening you?" Josh was threatening her? Oh. He is so dead.
