Connelly

Connelly rose her hand into the air and tapped her knuckle onto the wooden door in front of her. Her eyes scanned the hallway of the Harmony Oaks apartment complex as she heard the footsteps approaching on the other side. Connelly stared forward as she heard the deadbolt turn on the other side. The door opened swiftly…as Connelly stared back at Fiona Lee.

Silas’ ex-wife.

“Well, this is a surprise,” Fiona smirked as her eyes widened, staring back at Connelly in front of her.

“Trust me, I never thought I’d be here,” Connelly nodded, wrapping her arms around her body.

“I thought you never wanted to see me again? I thought you made that pretty clear the last time we saw each other?”

“Fiona, can I come in? Please?” Connelly asked softly, the words leaving a bitter taste at the end of her tongue. She never thought in a million years she would be coming to Fiona’s apartment. She never thought in a million years she would come to Fiona for advice.

But she had nowhere else to turn. No one else to run to. No one else to talk to that possibly knew more about Silas than herself. She needed answers…and Fiona might be the only one that held them. Fiona hesitated…and then stepped back, pulling the door open for Connelly. Connelly stepped into the small studio apartment as her eyes scanned the neat and tidy space. Connelly heard the apartment door close behind her as she turned, watching Fiona as she moved into the small kitchenette in the corner of the room.

“I know you’re surprised to see me. I would be too if I were you,” Connelly nodded as she walked to the tiny white loveseat along the wall to her right and sat down, the leather squeaking beneath her weight.

“Well, I had a feeling I might see you again,” Fiona smiled as she reached into her refrigerator and grabbed a beer. “You want one?”

“No, I’m good,” Connelly nodded as Fiona shrugged, popping the lid off of the beer as she made her way to the sofa and sat down beside Connelly.

“So, why are you here? I’m guessing it’s not to apologize?” Fiona said sternly as she tilted the beer bottle back, taking a long sip.

“I actually wanted to ask you some questions about…about Silas; about the things you said a few weeks ago,” Connelly swallowed hard, her mouth growing dry.

“Have you noticed a change in him? A…shift?”

“Last night, he was so…different. The way he talked to me and the way his eyes…” Connelly stopped as she shook her head, staring up at the ceiling; trying to keep her tears from flowing. “The man I saw last night wasn’t the man I married. It’s like a switch flipped inside of him. He seemed so angry and so…so cold.”

“I know that feeling all too well,” Fiona nodded, hugging a blue floral decorative pillow tightly. “When me and him got married, it was…a dream. Our entire relationship was wonderful. He would bring me flowers and surprise me with date nights.
