Chapter 270

The living room was eerily quiet, the type of quiet that felt almost desolate.

Leanne made her way up the stairs to the second floor, stepping into the master bedroom. Both the hall light and the floor lamp were on, just like they used to be when she lived here, with the faint sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
