“Jack, wait,” I cried out, as I turned around and watched him walk away from me.

He pulled open the door and looked over his shoulder at me.

“Lock the fucking door,” he growled, slamming it behind him.

I stared at the door hoping it would open and he’d walk back inside but knew that wasn’t likely. I glanced down at the napkin in my hand, taking a deep breath before walking toward the refrigerator and hanging it alongside Danny’s picture.

I wouldn’t call.
