Chapter Twenty-six
Violet's POV:
A whisper escapes my mouth.
"No."
I drag my hand from his.
"No Jamie." I turn and grab the door knob but he moves my hand away and locks the door.
He runs his hands through his hair.
"Think Violet! I killed him!"
"You didn't know!"
"It doesn't change anything."
"It does. We... We... Can say that... That it was..."
"This is ridiculous!"
I find the words I was searching for. "Self defense."
He scoffs and rests on the door. "I'll end up in prison." He whispers then meets my eyes. "I can't. My license will be out next week. I need to get it."
I point at the body. "We can't cover this!""
My heart drums in my chest and I can hear the blood pumping through my veins.
Should anyone come looking... Should neighbours find out.
No. They shouldn't.
