Look Behind You
“He’s made up the bed for me with clean, pine-scented sheets and left a folded towel at the end of it with an unopened packet of soap. I touch the soap and smile at his thoughtfulness.
The floorboards upstairs creak under my weight, and I think that’s a good thing. An early alarm system. But it still doesn’t make me feel completely safe, so I turn the key in the bedroom door and position a wooden chair under the handle. If someone comes to get me in the middle of the night, at least I’ll hear it.... I undress and pull on a T-shirt from my bag. I should’ve brought more things with me from home. Tomorrow I’ll go back and get some when Liam’s at work.
Liam. What’s he doing now? Getting drunk and angry and blaming me for everything? Or consoling himself in the arms of Julianne? Well, at least they can be together now without me standing in the way. Good luck to her, that’s all I can say.
I turn off the bedside lamp and get into bed, listening to the unfamiliar sounds of the house.MoreLess
