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.
