Chapter 26
26
Roman
I ’m parked outside Quinn’s building, watching her on my remote camera feed. She’s in bed but restless.
I could call and demand she lets me in, but where’s the fun in that? Maybe I’ll pretend to be the building superintendent. Tell her there’s a leak or a fire or some bullshit and get her to?—
Wait. Where is she going?
No way. Am I fucking seeing this? Yes . She’s at her door, sliding the chain through the bracket and undoing it. The primary lock is still secure, but she knows I have a key?—
She bolts for her room, and I switch to the bedroom camera to see her dive beneath her duvet again like she’s afraid a monster might be under her bed.
Oh, rusalka. I see you. You want a monster in your bed. Don’t you worry; I’m right here.
I climb out of my car and head over the road to her building, my heart pounding in my ears.
