Julian set the glass down. His voice went flat.

Julian frowned.
“She locked you out?”

Ms. Jenkins’s voice dropped to almost nothing. “But when I tried the handle… I thought I smelled something.”
She never finished the sentence. The front door burst open.

Arthur charged in, grabbed Julian by the collar, and slammed him into the wall. “Where the hell is Audrey?!”
Julian wrenched his hands off. “Who let you in?”
“I’ve been calling her all day! She won’t pick up! I called you. Nothing!”
Arthur’s voice filled the room like a detonation. “Audrey is two months pregnant! You locked her up somewhere. If anything happens to her, I swear to God I’ll…”
