Chapter 23

• Kelley felt a chill creep up his spine as he drove up the driveway and parked his Escalade in front of the house. It didn’t feel like mere months since he’d last been there, but years. He also realized that this house had never been his home.
• The front door opened just as he reached the steps of the stone porch and Laura smiled as she stood waiting for him. Sudden guilt hit him at how he’d treated his mother the last time he’d spoken to her but the feeling didn’t last long.
• “Kelley? What are you doing here?” She looked genuinely confused at his sudden appearance at the house.
