The Perfect Lie
Lena hesitated for only a moment before unlocking the door and turning the handle.
A man stood on the porch.
Tall, dark clothing - a Stranger.
A chill ran down her spine.
"Mrs. Calloway?" His voice was low, smooth, calculated.
Lena forced herself to nod. "Yes?"
The man smiled, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Sorry about the hour. But I think you've been trying to reach someone."
She became uneasy.
Behind her, she heard the faint creak of the floorboards.
It was Ethan. He was waiting there.
