I felt my stomach drop the moment the knock broke through the silence of my bedroom. I stared at it, trying not to make a single sound. Maybe that way, whoever was behind that door would go away. I highly doubted that it would be Jessie standing on the other side.
However, they weren't as easily deterred as I hoped they would be.
"I know you're in there," came Violet's voice. I cursed internally. Of all the people who could've shown up, she was the worst option. "Let me in before I spill your secrets."
I stood to my feet, but before I took the next step, I stopped. If I opened the door, I would be admitting to the fact that I had any secrets at all. Violet had never mentioned anything, and for all I knew, it could just be bait. She might not even know anything. Even if she did, I wouldn't know what she was referring to.
Slowly, I put my feet back down. I waited for half a minute more, and I could hear a sigh come from outside.
