Angel Maker: An Unputdownable Scandinavian Crime Thriller With A Chilling Twist (DI Jamie Johansson Book 1)
31
Jamie,
I received a letter today that said that the man I hit was going to be filing charges against me.
I suppose this news should make me feel something, but it doesn’t.
I don’t feel anything anymore.
Last night, I thought I heard you coming home.
I woke up, rushed to the top of the stairs, and fell.
I lay at the bottom, not sure if I was hurt or not, not knowing if anyone would come. And I thought – I realised – then, that you were never coming back.
The only thing that keeps me going is making sure that I leave you with more than memories of what a terrible father I was.
And an even worse man.
I don’t expect you to ever forgive me, Jamie.
And I don’t think I deserve it.
