It was stupid, but I didn't hasten my steps until I was sure the woman had left.
It wasn't that I didn't believe that there were few good ones left in this cruel world, but I have been too badly treated by life not to raise an eyebrow at her kindness.
I even thought the woman was a serial killer, and God knows, those heartless bastards are usually very kind from the onset.
When I was convinced, she was really gone. The only sign of her being there before, was the disarray of fallen leaves and the faint trail of her tires.
I dashed for the Blake Mansion, just a bend from Leek Park and a few trots in, I stood before the looming façade of the mansion.
Instinctively, my eyes went to that corner I had huddled in until daybreak. A shiver ran through my spine as I witnessed involuntary flashes of that memory flooded my mind.
