“She’d actually fallen asleep. A noise—a soft rustle—came from downstairs, so faint, she wasn’t sure she’d heard anything. Maybe she was confusing it with the traffic noise outside. She rubbed her eyes and tried to blink away the fog in her brain. The clock read 2 a.m. Maybe she’d been dreaming. Imagined the noise. She was about to get up and hit the bathroom to pee when she heard it again—the rustle. A stair tread groaned. Shit! Someone was in the house, coming up the stairs. ... Fallyn flew off the bed, a crash sounding at her feet. Pins and needles stabbed her big toe and ankle. The picture frame. She’d fallen asleep with it, then sent it crashing to the floor. At the noise, she froze, and so did whoever was coming up the stairs. Silence hung in the air, thick and suffocating. Not even a hint of traffic noise drifted up from the street.MoreLessRead More Read Less
