Chapter 132: Cheating death

***

Amber’s POV

“What do you mean, she’s dead,” I ask Hope, confused, “You’re kidding, right? I mean, there’s absolutely no way I could have killed her!”

My husband kneels carefully beside her, checking for signs of life. He straightens and sighs.

“She’s gone,” he replies gently, “There’s no doubt my love.”

I start to worry about the implications of this immediately. I was only trying to save Hope. I never in a million years believed that a blow to the head with someone of my strength could kill her. I don’t understand why it did. It was both self defense AND an accident. But will the police see it that way?

As the police car pulls up to the clearing, I realize that I am afraid of what is about to happen. The policeman gets out, and heads over in our direction. My pulse is racing. Am I a murderer now?

“Levi, great to see you,” the policeman says, “I wish it could be under better circumstances.”
