Chapter 31 - i secretly checked nora’s location and became the watcher
At sixteen, Nora went to a concert.
I checked her phone location fourteen times.
She found out.
“How?”
“Your tablet.”
I had forgotten the family account synced.
She stared at the location history.
“You checked me every twelve minutes.”
“Not every twelve.”
“Dad.”
Fine.
“Roughly.”
Her face changed.
“You were watching me.”
The word hit.
Watching.
Hidden cameras.
Secret eyes.
“This isn’t that.”
“I know.”
Good.
She was not making a false equivalence.
“That was Marissa spying to build a case.”
“You were scared.”
“Yes.”
“And you watched me without telling me.”
Also yes.
I sat down.
“I’m sorry.”
Nora crossed her arms.
“Why didn’t you text?”
“Because I didn’t want to bother you.”
“So you watched instead.”
Brutal.
Accurate.
We changed the rule.
Location sharing remained on by agreement for emergencies.
I would not repeatedly check unless Nora was late, unreachable, or there was a specific safety concern.
Transparency.
Not secret reassurance.
The first concert after that nearly killed me.
I checked once.
Then placed my phone face-down.

Harrison laughed at me for twenty minutes.
Deserved.
