Chapter 8

Kate and Norah both had a routine when they first got home after their days, and today was no exception. I had some time to sit and reflect on my morning with Kyle while Norah got some homework done and Kate changed and spent a half hour in her room reading. I relived the taunting and torture – every feeling, every smell, and even the metallic taste that’d filled my mouth as he sprayed a mist of blood during his final death rattles. It was far from my favorite kill, but something about the need that I’d felt leading up to it added an extra sense of fulfillment that was quite enjoyable.

The buzz of my phone on the table shook me from the daydream, and I looked down to see Brandon’s number flashing on the screen. I’d been so consumed by planning and executing my kill that I hadn’t thought much about Brandon all weekend, but hearing from him now brought another rush of euphoria. I felt like I was being pulled out of my seat by my smile as I reached to answer the phone. I was glad no one could see to tease me about it later.

“Hello,” I answered calmly, trying not to sound too excited.

“Good evening,” Brandon said, letting just enough anticipation and warmth flow through his voice to get the butterflies fluttering once more. “I hope you had a good day.”

“It was very relaxing,” I replied. “How about yours?”

“Well,” he began to reply, “nothing really out of the ordinary. I thought quite a bit about the other night though. I’d love to see you again this week. Would you like to do dinner and a movie tomorrow night?”

There was no hesitation in my mind, but I paused for a moment before saying yes. Again, I didn’t want to appear too eager.

“That would be wonderful,” I responded after a few beats. “I don’t ever recall seeing a movie in a theater, but it sounds amazing.”

It was an honest answer. Of course, I knew that I had never seen one at all, but if I at least played it as a memory issue, it might help cover any reactions to the new experience. Kate and I had talked about going a few times, but it had just never happened.

“Really?” he asked, sounding shocked. “Surely you’ve been to a movie theater, maybe going again will jog your memory... If not, I’ll be glad to be your first.”

Brandon went dead silent for a moment afterwards, likely realizing what he’d just said. His momentary embarrassment was adorable. He really liked me.

“I can’t wait,” I said, hearing my own voice rise an octave and feeling a wave of embarrassment myself.

“I’d love to talk more, but I have a mountain of paperwork waiting for me. I meant to call yesterday, but I got sucked into work and then it was too late. I just couldn’t let another day go by without calling, I didn’t want you to think I was blowing you
