The Day I Killed James (2008)
“Leevon barked. Which alarmed me. Because that meant it wasn’t Frieda. Then again, I knew it wasn’t Frieda, because she would have just opened the door and come in. But it was more the bark that alarmed me. If Leevon was scared, so was I. My heart rate jumped wildly.
I didn’t answer it straight off. Leevon growled low in his throat while I ran a quick mental list of who even knew I was up here. My father. It could be my father. But that would mean he was voluntarily walking in the direction of t...rouble, which seemed unlikely. Frieda would never have told her parents I was here. But maybe they found out somehow and had come to evict me. Seemed like something that involved too much gumption for either one of them. But people have their moods. You never know.
Another knock. Leevon let out one stiff howl. It struck me that he wouldn’t bark at Frieda’s parents, either. He has a sense of smell. All dogs do.
“Who is it?” I called. Sounding every bit as paranoid as I felt.
“Annie?”MoreLess
