Retribution
“I was relieved to see that Cooper’s car was in the garage and Robert’s was not. He still wasn’t home. That was good. It would give me time to convince Cooper to let his mother’s death go and then to come up with a plan to escape the man I was terrified of.
I walked through the silent house and up the stairs to the second floor. Without hesitating, I marched up to Cooper’s door and knocked. A few seconds later, the door opened to reveal a smiling Cooper. I froze for a moment, taking him in. This might very well be the last time I ever saw him smile at me. I memorized every little detail of his face and stored it away. I knew that I would need it once I left this house of horrors and started my life over again.
“Claire,” he said as he reached forward and pulled me to him. He captured my lips with his and kissed me deeply.
My body turned to jelly as I kissed him back, savoring this happy and innocent moment between us.
