I shiver. My hand is in your big one. Suddenly, I feel exposed, but I don’t have to worry about that with you, do I? This feeling is usually strange when I’m with you, but I probably feel it because we are about to enter this garage.
When we arrive at the door, you briefly glance at me over your shoulder. My heart pounds in my neck and for a moment, reluctance arises in me. You stop in front of the door, open it, and wait for me to enter on my own because you never push me to do anything. Okay, at least when you’re not a psycho.
Now it’s like you’re giving me the choice to turn around and go back. But I won’t. That’s bullshit. You are here and I’ll go anywhere with you. With you, nothing’s going to happen to me. So I square my shoulders and nod.
I walk right past you. My curious nature has often been my undoing.
As soon as I step into Carter’s garage, blackness seems to swallow me.
The door closes behind me and it is as if I dive into another world. It’s as if a new kind of darkness has enveloped me.
But then, when it gets too dark for me, you put your hand on my back and gently push me forward.
I know I have nothing to fear because I love you and you would never push me to my doom, right, Caden?
