14. The Ghost

The Ghost

Leo Beauchene tries my fucking patience. He knew I was there.

That smug fucking look on his face while talking to her.

Goading me.

Rubbing it in my fucking face that he can be with her in the daylight, while I can’t.

Not even trying to hide how interested he was in her. And it’s partly my fault. Because I’m interested, and he knows it.

She’s unharmed. A couple weeks in, and she’s still alive and whole. I’ve been taking my time. Stalling, if I’m honest.

I think all things considered, I’ve been very patient.
