Chapter Fifteen

The following day, Kyle had already left the house before she’d even woken up. She found a note on the pillow beside her head.

Sorry! Work meetings all day. See you when I get back. Miss you already. K.

Natalie let out a sigh and stretched, then wondered what she was going to do with her day.

Her car was still parked on the street outside her flat. She was going to need the car to get to and from work. She could wait until Kyle got back and see if he’d give her a lift to go and pick it up, but she didn’t like being so reliant on him. He’d already done so much for her. She’d been more than capable of catching the bus around the city before she’d met him, and she was still capable of doing it now.

She could figure out what buses she needed to take to get as close to her neighbourhood as possible, and then she’d have to walk the rest from there.

Assuming he hadn’t locked her in, of course.

She nipped out of bed, got dressed, and went to the front door. This time, it opened with ease, and, when she shut it again, she saw it locked automatically, making it accessible only for someone on the inside. She frowned. If it locked automatically when it was shut, why had he felt the need to deadlock it when he’d left the house, locking the door from the inside as well?

He was probably just extra security conscious—which was why he’d been so bothered about her living back where she had.

When she left to pick up the car, she’d have to shut the door behind her. He’d not given her a key yet, so she wouldn’t be able to get back in until he arrived home. She’d have to keep herself entertained until then.

Thirty minutes later, she was on the bus, heading into the city centre. From there, she switched buses and caught the one that took her nearest to her old flat. At her old stop, she jumped off the bus and proceeded to walk the well-known route back to her place.

Her stomach knotted with each step closer to her road, and when she finally turned the corner and stepped onto it, she could barely bring herself to lift her head.

The police were gone, though blue tape warning ‘police, do not cross’ was still blocking the front door of the building.

She didn’t even want to glance at her flat, never mind the one above. How did the other neighbours feel about living so close, knowing what had happened? At least they hadn’t seen anything more than the aftermath—the police and the ambulance arriving, the bodies wheeled out on stretchers, but their faces and all the blood was neatly hidden beneath the body bags. It was different for her. She’d seen everything, and it was something she’d never forget.

How could she go back to living here when she couldn’t even bring herself to look at the place? Her lease was up in the next month or so.
