Chapter 19

Years passed.

The main house sold on my terms.

Not Daniel’s.

Not Victor’s.

Mine.

I bought a smaller place near work.

Simple.

Sunlit.

No rooms haunted by Madison’s perfume or Daniel’s lies.

I kept one thing from the old house.

Not the robe.

Not the wedding photo.

My mother’s vase.

Police found it in Madison’s car, wrapped in a towel.

She claimed Daniel told her I did not want it.

Of course he did.

I placed it on my new dining table.

Filled it with grocery store flowers.

May you like

Nothing expensive.

Just alive.
