How could you think at a time like this?! You completely freeze as the footsteps draw closer to your door.
This wouldn't be a problem if you had closed your door. In your family, a closed bedroom door meant a closed room and everyone respected that, but last night you had left your door partially open.
The footsteps slow until they stop, right outside your door. Without realizing it you're breathing heavily, sweating profusely.
The door opens and in walks... |
