18. Woman in distress

Emma wiped her tears away in an attempt to console herself. Clearing her throat, she was just about to speak up when his voice reached her. 

“Emma.” He said in a strict tone, like a parent to a child. “Open the fucking door.” 

“Go away, Jamie.” She said through a broken voice, “I want to be alone.” 

For a few seconds, all she heard was silence. She was grateful that he listened to her for once and heaved a sigh of relief. However, it was cut short when she felt another knock on the door. The knocks traveled down the entire surface of the door from above downwards. When it reached her back, the resonance turned dull, and he ceased his movement at once.
