Chapter 2: The Second Person in the Doorway


Dad reached for his phone to open the camera app, but his wife stepped in front of him.
“She’s confused,” she said quickly.
“You know how children make things up.”
“I’m not making it up!” his daughter cried.
She hurried to her little brother and lifted his empty bowl.
“She waits until you leave.
Then she takes his food away.”
His wife’s face tightened.
“Stop lying!”
Dad stared at her.
“Move away from my phone.”
For a moment, no one spoke.
Then the little boy whispered, “Please don’t be angry, Daddy.
She said I wasn’t allowed to tell.”
Dad’s hands began to shake.
He opened the recording from that afternoon.
On the screen, his wife placed a full bowl before the boy—but the moment Dad’s car left the driveway, she snatched it back.
Then she leaned close to the child and said something the camera could barely capture.
Dad turned up the volume.
Before the words played, his wife grabbed his arm.
“If you watch the rest, you’ll destroy this family.”
Suddenly, the little girl pointed at the screen again.
A second person had appeared in the kitchen doorway—and Dad recognized them instantly.
