I march up the steps, my heart pounding. I’m running on pure adrenaline. Pure rage. But I want to look Marnie in the eyes and ask her why. I want her to explain it to me. Why did she take my dad from me? Why does she hate me? What gives her the right to play the grieving widow when she’s the reason he’s gone?

“You killed my dad.”

Her eyes widen in shock.

“You killed my dad!” I scream. And then I’m crying again, sobbing so hard I can’t breathe.

“Come inside,” Marnie says, grabbing my arm.

I’m too damn miserable to argue. I’m too damn miserable to do anything but follow along like a broken little doll as she pulls me into the house. As soon as she does, I realize just how badly I messed up. Because she isn’t alone. Jack Hale is here, and he has a gun.
