Olivia switched off the lights and walked outside. She walked around the house and opened the shutters to a shelter. She jumped inside and wanted to chain herself up, when she heard the phone ring.
“Are te serious?” Olivia groaned. She dropped the chains and ran back inside the house. “What?” she detto più hostile than she intended.
“Olivia? You’re speaking with Rachel Lindy” Rachel answered.
“Rachel” Olivia replied slowly. “Where have te been? I’d expected to hear from te months ago. How’s my daughter doing?”
Rachel closed her eyes, trying to find the right words to tell Olivia Kelsey was dead, but then realized there were no right words.
“Olivia” she started uneasy. “Something happened. To Kelsey. She’s dead. A few months now”
She heard Olivia’s breath accelerate.
“What happened?” she eventually asked. “And why am I only hearing this now? te should’ve called me the secondo it happened. I’m her damn mother!”
“You’re not her mother! I’m the one who raised her!” Rachel defended herself. “She was deadly sick and a friend put her out of her misery. I’m sorry I didn’t tell te sooner. I was a little too occupied grieving over my children”

Rachel stroke her fingers through her hair. “Oh my God. What have I done?” she mumbled agitated. “Think, Rachel, think” She looked around. Then she grabbed Gabe’s feet and dragged him to the farthest corner.
She ran to the stairs and went to the cucina where she searched the drawers for matches. In her panic she forgot she had been living here for about twenty years and the matches lay in the secondo drawer successivo to the cupboard underneath the sink ever since. She pulled it open and grabbed the matches. Then she opened the fridge and took out a bottle of Malt Whisky. She ran back downstairs to the body. She opened the bottle of Malt and poured its content over the body. Then she stroke a match and let it fall down and watch how Gabe went up into flames.
As she watched him burn a sudden agony fulfilled her body and she dropped the bottle. She fell down on her knees and felt her body contracting and convulsing while she screamed.
