the stakes are high. she can taste the risk, but she barely considers it.
"you'd be surprised, actuallyー you're never going to believe this, but," surely, he's had more than enough time to have thought about this; to think about that night; to think about her. does he really believe she's such an amateur, even after she's taught him better? even after that lesson has cost him everything? nothing that happened in that house had been an accident.
"i did! when i shot her the first time, she dropped her phone. i figured she might have wanted it back."
how convenient that he should bring it up so soon. she's been holding onto that knowledge on her own, and it has sweetened over time. what kind of expression will twist into that beautiful face?

her memories of the events are the only ones left. when she dies, his family's last moments die with her.
truthfully, she doesn't know if he'll see it, doesn't know if he'll even care. maybe he'll kill her anyway. it's thrilling, in a way: she'll fight tooth and nail if ー when ー it comes down to it, but if she dies, she'll die twisting the knife she put in his chest all that time ago. NIKOLAI PETROV |
