don’t know whether I scream or not, my whole world in a blur as I fall to my knees. Did she shoot him? Was she going to come shoot me if she heard me scream? I don’t even care. At this point, I wish she would because the pain couldn’t possibly be any worse.
And when a third shot is fired a few seconds after the first two, I feel Benedict lift me off the floor and start to carry me away as tears stream down my face. But I don’t want to go. I want to see if Nathan is okay and I start kicking my legs, screaming, “Let me go! I have to see if he’s okay!”
“Goddamnit, calm down Caroline! The cops are here. Let them come up and make sure it’s safe.” He keeps walking, keeping me secure even as I stop fighting him, and heads down the steps.
“She shot him. Oh god, she had to have shot him. She said she was his wife.”
He finally sets me down after carrying me outside and pulls me against him.“I’m so sorry, sweetheart. You shouldn’t’ve heard that. You don’t know if anything she said is true.”
“I don’t…I don’t understand—”
The next little while is hazy as the police arrive, shock taking hold of me and refusing to let go, but when the police come back down and shake their head at both of us, the look on Benedict’s face is all I see.
A look that tells me the love of my life is dead, as is the woman who murdered him.
And with that, my entire life changes.
To Be Continued…
