Convincing Truths
He was a killer.
It was always hardest the first time.
That's what Olivia had said. She had stood next to him on a deserted stretch of night highway and felt sympathy for him - like he deserved it.
Sometimes he thought he did: deserve her sympathy. Other times he realized he was as good at fooling her as anyone else. It was easier with her too.
She knew him so well that she knew what to look for, knew all his tells: the furrowed brow, slightly hunched shoulders, the silence. Yes, she knew him well.
It made it all that much easier to fool her when he needed to.
He was a killer. A murderer.
But he had known that long before she did.
Please review. Thank you.
