I hear a car pull up and I brace myself. Once I hear the footsteps on the gravel outside, I move over to the doorway and hide in the shadows of the room.

I understand how hard it must’ve been for her over the years, not knowing what had happened to her sister, and how torn up she must’ve been after convincing herself that I was the person responsible. Since she had hired a professional to kill me, I can justify now killing her as self-defense, but I can still appreciate the cruelty of it, and I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.

The door opens.
