Eric's face drained of color. His eyes, wide with fear, locked onto Kelly. His voice came unsteady. "Kelly ... what are you doing? Just stay calm. No one needs to get hurt."

Dawn's breath hitched, her voice breaking. “Kelly, have you lost your mind? Put that down!"

Kelly flinched at the sharpness in Dawn's tone. Her grip tightened around the lighter, her fingers trembling, yet her gaze remained steadfast.

Kelly studied her for a moment, then, with a slow nod, lowered the lighter.

Eric saw his chance. He lunged toward the window, fingers reaching-
