My words trail off as memories flood into my mind — locking eyes with Janine for the first time all those years ago in Egypt; holding my baby girl in my arms just after my wife had given birth to her; moving into our house and arguing over what color to paint the bedroom… I smile as I realize she wouldn’t ever have blamed me for what happened, so maybe it’s time I don’t, either.
After a few minutes, I stand and dust myself down. I take a deep breath and let out the last of the doubts, fears, and burdens with it.
“I love you,” I say.
I turn and walk out of the cemetery. As I pass through the gates and stand on the sidewalk, I feel like a different man. A changed man. The killer, and the demon inside of him, is gone. All I have to do now is figure out what kind of man I’m going to be…
I cross the street and get back in the car.
“You okay?” asks Josh.
“Yeah,” I reply as I start the engine. “I really am.”
“Good to hear. So where are we going?”
I pull away from the curb, turning the music up and winding my window down.
“Josh… I have no idea.”
Dear Reader,
Thank you for downloading my book, and I hope you enjoyed it!
If you did, I’d really appreciate it if you could spare thirty seconds of your time to leave a review on whichever website you downloaded it from. For independent authors like me, one review makes the world of difference!
Alternatively, you can contact me directly via my website (the link is below). I love hearing from my readers — the best part of being a writer is getting to know my audience, and finding out what they think of my work.
Thank you in advance!
