The house is quiet and dark. Kale is out on a date, enjoying some post-firework’s party. He hasn’t been home much at all in the last few days. Between spending time with Lake and whatever this high paying shoot is, it’s keeping him busy.

Not that I mind. It’s nice to have my house to myself sometimes.

I sit down at the desk in my room and boot my laptop up. I’ve completely forgotten about my bonus until now. I log into my bank account and pull up my mortgage.

I paid over forty percent down when I bought the place. Between investment money and what I made off of the sale of my old apartment it was enough to pay down that huge chunk. I pay nearly double my mortgage every month and I’ve put twenty percent of every bonus I’ve gotten toward paying the mortgage down.

I transfer every penny of this bonus. I give a satisfied smile as I see the amount owed drop nearly in half.

I should be able to pay the rest off within two years. And my home will be mine, free and clear.

I quickly look over all my recent bank charges. Keeping a close eye on my finances is something I tend to be terrible about. When you always know you have plenty in the bank, you don’t worry about it so often.

There are two deposits into my account in the last two weeks, both coming in on the same day. One is my bonus. The other is a smaller deposit, still a huge sum.

It’s roughly twenty percent more than my bonus last year. I assume this is the addition Mr. Maxwell talked about. Odd they came from two different sources.

The clock reads twelve thirty when I log off and close the laptop. I brush my teeth and change into silky pajama pants and a cotton tank top. I slip into the sheets and turn the lamp off. I grab my phone, hoping to find a message from Julian, but there is none.

Just as I lay the phone face down on the nightstand, I hear something out of place. The slider onto the deck that overlooks the lake is quiet, but I absolutely recognize it when I hear it. For a second, I am terrified. Kale would never come back in through that door. And no one else ever comes here.

The alarm cuts through the silence.

I leap out of bed, my heart hammering in my throat. What to use as a weapon? I can’t find anything to use except for the seven hundred dollar lamp beside the bed.

“It’s just me!”

I ball my fist and am about to swing it just as Julian’s face appears in the dark.

“It’s just me,” he repeats.

My breathing comes in sharp, quick pulls and I am frozen.

My phone starts ringing.

I swear as I pull out of my shocked state. I grab my phone and answer it as I pass Julian and start disengaging the alarm system.

Someone introduces themselves from the security company but I can’t hear them over the sound of the alarm.
