I found myself alone at home, the music playing softly in the background, contemplating why things weren’t unfolding as I had meticulously planned. The frustration was annoying the heck out of me.

As I continued to mull over my thoughts, the unexpected sound of the doorbell pierced the quiet of the house. I reluctantly left the comfort of the sofa, hoping it was Hazel, a welcome presence.

from how I had envisioned things playing out. The reason I had instructed those men to leave a message for Ravel was to manipulate Hazel into blaming him for her anger and sorrow. I had hoped that in her moment of pain and anger, she would turn to me. Instead, it felt like the opposite had occurred–she was turning away from me and seeking solace
