Illusions Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Nora sat across the table from her daughter and stepson, both were adorable with the promise of their new found relationship. Nora was loving it because it meant she saw more Rachel.  Drew also seemed to move his attentions away from Nora, which she was relieved with. She was happy to have both of them in her life, but the absence of Bo was wearing her down. She just need her husband back.

The evening was winding down as they decided to watch a movie together. The doorbell rang. Nora stood and went to answer it.
“Hank! Come in we were just watching a movie.”
As Hank walked in Nora saw his expression.

“Hank? What is it.”
“Nora, we need to talk.”
Nora felt the blood drain out her face as her heart stopped.

“Bo?”
Rachel and Drew came over.

“Dad? What are doing here?”
Hank’s face never left Nora’s.

“No, Hank.”
“Baby I am sorry, but.”
Nora felt her knees buckle. Drew and Hank grabbed her holding her up. They moved her to the couch.

“Daddy what is going on?”
“Bo was killed.”
Nora heard her daughter cry, but she couldn’t do anything. The walls were caving around her, she couldn't think or say anything. Hank wrapped his large arms around her kissing her head.

“Baby I am so sorry. I am here for you not matter what?”
Nora world was narrowing suddenly it went black.
