He talked it up stress of being a new mama ass time went on and only got worse over them, First, few weeks, Lily had quieter and quieter. Until it seemed like all the laughter in the house just tried a thin. Her mood started flip, she could go from not speaking at all crying almost as much as the baby in seconds with no warning. and that really scared my dad, because he had no idea how to help her tat, still work Ninety five, some often the not.

I worried about her Tat told me I surely did but you have to understand. I know with that kind of thing. Looked hard at me begging with his eyes. Please believe me. I wanted to help her, but I just ain't no good the best he can was try and keep her car keys. Telling him there were people living in the walls

she could hear them moving around at night, so he took it, on himself too low go strangers out installing Deadbolt around every window and door He was only humoring her, of course, the thing he heard a night was the floor. Creaking like mad ass. She walked back and forth in the dark step by step for hours on end, and every once in a while, the cat thank God knows what out there and come running into the room tied under the bed, got so bad that he started to worry for his own safety. Not that thought she would hurt her. She never The whole situation made him uneasy. He said there times when he'd wake up and see her silhouette in the doorway

While he waited with his eyes, half open pretending to be asleep, and then everything fell apart that may adapt one on a fishing trip. Lily asked not to go, she said she didn't feel safe in their. never mind the extra lacks he installed. He argued that the house was fine and there just needed some rest. Besides this king trip was a yearly tradition between he and his brothers. He couldn't just call it off It would only be three days in any way. He'd call every night to check here. He would have never left if he thought she was in danger, but of course the truth is a part of him wanted to get away after those last few months,

Endless worry, it would have taken an off. I'd like to get him to give up three nights of peace and quiet, he picked up his rods and tackle kiss sisters barred little head and said goodbye to his wife. she held him tightly by the hands as they stood there. On this too, I'm trying to forgive you for leaving. She said. I love you, though. I really do it's been three days with his brothers hooking. While I am on the murky waters of Lake Erie, he told me in feel ass good as he expected, the weather was nice and the fish were biting. but no matter how hard he tried to shake that uneasy feeling his thoughts, kept coming back to his wife and child, all along the monsters and lilies head. He had held summit tension would melt away on the boat, but the stress, climb,

up his shoulders only got worse, as the days went by it problem They would have been different if he'd been able to call her every evening when they go back to the large. He called the house, but the phone witches bring em ring with no end this is back before everyone had voicemail. Of course, tourists parcel that she just wasn't around here, hear him call. He told himself he's probably at the store, but she take an extra dose of that new sleeping medication to Albert relax.

He got the coroner's report Lily died of an overdose and her death has throughout the suicide all the time doors and windows were locked from the inside. And, given that description of her recent beta police put two and two together, though was one thing that was odd.

He began double checking all the doors the windows to, but everything was locked around this time. He started losing track of things a book or it, How would always appear in Rome he never left it he blamed the stress and wrote it off as the trauma affecting his memory. Meanwhile, the cat was going wild. He almost ass his brother to adopt it just so. You didn't have to hear me out and spit all through the night at things he never saw. He told me with revulsion about that. And he came across lilies hair brush. He was packing up.

among other things, and found a long hair tangled in the com, except it wasn't Brown, Mikey, remember, but deep black. Of course, a few times he dreamed that there was a shadowy figure with long wild hair standing The doorway to his ah he could do was break out into a cold, sweat and wholly spread until it turned and locked away. He felt his mind betray him blurring lines between reality nightmare this then how Lily felt he thought ah alone, with the shadows in her head, you spend a whole nights just listening to the creaky footsteps, while whisper into his pillow, I'm sorry, I'm so
