It took months to sell the condo.

  Not that we had needed the money. It was just the closure that we had craved. Spencer and I had been living together for the past few weeks and I had never imagined that I could be so happy. He was perfect for me and I was perfect for him.

  I hadn’t seen my sister since that night and I hadn’t betrayed her secret love to anyone other than Spencer. When the police had got there that night, it had been obvious that Jared Benning had been killed in self-defense. It was also determined when the found the small box of pictures of both Jessica and me in his office that he had been stalkerish obsessed with us. Case close. Life moved on.

  Spencer and I were sitting at the table in our apartment when the knock came. We had been talking about the future… about our feelings for each other… and about the amazing person who had brought us together even after death.

  Spencer asked me to answer it and I jumped up, always happy to do as he pleased. It was a delivery boy and it took me a few seconds to realize what he was holding in his hands.

  “McKayla Casen?” I nodded, unable to speak. “These are for you.”

  He handed me his fragile gift and turned before walking down the hall. When Spencer came up behind me and put his arms around me, goose bumps spread over my exposed flesh. “Read the card,” he whispered.

  I did as he asked. It said simply “She always knew we were ‘made for each other’.”

  The crystal glass slipped from my hand and crashed to the floor with a shatter. Water splashed over my feet and I nicked my bare foot on a piece of glass, but I ignored that. My only focus was on the blood splattered present Spencer had sent me…

  Flowers.
