Chapter 26

Kirsty stood numbly as she re-read the letter. What was going on? Maybe it was Kane, maybe he just. No Kirsty told herself. This is not something Kane would do. Kane would say he loved her or something similar, but this, this had a sinister meaning behind it. Kirsty moved into the living room. She looked out the window in case she could see anyone hanging around outside. The road was deserted. She sat down, feeling faint. Maybe she should ring Kane. If it was him, there was no need to worry. She could just laugh it off. At least she'd know. She picked up the phone and dialled. She got the answer phone.

"Hi this is Kane, I'm not able to take you're call right now so leave a message and I'll get back to you!"

"Hey baby it's me. Nothing important, I'll see you when you get home" Kirsty hung up. There was no point in worrying him. She'd just sort it out later. But right now she was gonna carry on. She had stuff to do. She put the letter down and went back to cleaning. But whatever she did, she couldn't forget about the letter. Something wasn't right.

After what felt like hours, Kirsty finally saw Kane's call pull up. She took a deep breath, to try and calm herself. The last thing she wanted was to make Kane worry over nothing. She went and opened the door for him. He walked up and gave her a long kiss.

"Been waiting to do that all day baby." He took Kirsty in his arms and swung her around. He looked at her; she looked tense, nervous even.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I don't know" Kirsty replied. "Did you send me anything today? A letter maybe?"

Kane looked confused. "A letter? Sorry babe, no. Was I supposed to?" he said with a laugh.

Kirsty didn't even smile. Something was wrong with his girl. "Kirst has something happened? You can tell me."

"I got a letter today. It's probably nothing, maybe just someone playing a practical joke on me. I thought it might be from you" Kirsty took Kane's hand and led him to where the letter was. She handed it to him. As he read it his face turned from happy to concerned to angry.

"I didn't write this Kirst" he said finally.

"I didn't think it was you. I guess I just hoped, so it wouldn't be anything serious." Kirsty voice faltered. She was scared. This sort of thing only happened in the movies.

"Hey baby, don't worry. It's probably someone's idea of a sick joke." Kane said reassuringly. He pulled Kirsty to him and hugged her tightly. The truth was he didn't know what was going on. What was someone trying to say? Was Kirsty in danger?
