Chapter 413

• I started dinner and went upstairs to shower while the meat grilled in the oven. I would have to somehow convince her to go along with this relationship story to save both our asses. She was an accessory after the fact now.
• Even though it had been self-defense, they were essentially intruders in my house. I had gotten rid of the bodies and we both had lied about it. It was those lies that could have serious consequences if the truth ever did come out. I had told her I buried them but there were no bodies on the property. They thought I was the boyfriend taking revenge for domestic violence.
• Charlotte pulled into the driveway at eight p.m. and walked into the house through the kitchen door. The dogs were going crazy as they met her in the kitchen.
