Like "burnt-sacrifice-to-the-moon-goddess" black. I panicked, grabbed another bread slice, and tried again. Then I smelled something burning. Something… not bread. "OHHH SHOOOT!" The cloth near the stove had caught fire. I slapped it with a towel, panicked even more, then slapped it again. After a dramatic mini battle, the fire died out but the smell… the smell filled the whole house.

It was as if nothing had happened. My stomach rumbled, and I followed the charred scent wafting my way through the smog. Kian was standing by the stove wearing the boxer briefs he’d slept in, tossing a burned piece of toast between his hands. “Fuck, that’s hot,” he growled. “You know what they say; if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen,” I commented, announcing my presence.

She smiled at me, that crooked, haunted smile she gave when a plan had teeth. Then her eyes closed. The driver I had trusted was not me. He was a man on the edge. I floored the pedal. We tore through the properties like men running from gods. I felt the car lean into speed and felt as if the asphalt would slide off the world.

Before leaving, they even gave me advice, saying, "You should cherish what you have, Ron. Don't you know how good Delilah and Dakota are as your wife and daughter?

SARAH POV. The day started with a burnt piece of toast. That’s how you know things are about to go downhill. First, you burn your breakfast, then you burn your bridges. I stared at the blackened slice, smoke curling lazily toward the ceiling, and sighed. “Figures,” I muttered, tossing the toast into the trash. “Can’t even make breakfast without things falling apart.
