Nora's POV
I kicked the door shut behind me, dropping the final grocery bag onto the kitchen floor with a soft thud. "James," I called out, my voice echoing through our house. He was probably buried in his office again, researching another multimillion-dollar investment property that would eventually make us even wealthier. "You'll never believe what I overheard in town."
After washing my hands at the sink, I began pulling items from the bags. James appeared in the doorway within moments, moving to help me organize our purchases.
"What happened?" he asked, taking a box of cereal from my hands.
"They discovered a body in the nature preserve. Heart completely missing. Not exactly amusing, but definitely demonic in nature."
James paused, holding a package of crackers as he waited for me to continue. He understood my patterns well enough by now.
