And a woman’s.
A very familiar woman’s.
Kara.
I opened the door.
My younger sister.
My brain tried to make it normal.
Maybe she dropped by.
Maybe they’re in the kitchen.

I opened the door.
My heart started hammering so hard my fingers tingled.
The living room was dark except for the glow from down the hall.
Our bedroom door was almost closed.
I heard Kara laugh again. Then a low murmur from Daniel.
My heart started hammering so hard my fingers tingled.
I walked down the hall, pushed the door open.

Time didn’t slow down. It kept going. That’s the worst part. You’re staring at your life breaking, and the clock just keeps moving.
No one spoke.
Kara was leaning against the dresser, hair messy, shirt unbuttoned.
