That Time I Killed You.

She thought she'd buried the past forever but now she'll have to do it all over again.

I had to get things under control.

Breathe.

Eggs. Milk. Baking powder. Piping bags.

Focus.

Sweat puddled under my armpits and I leaned on the cart.

I closed my eyes. Breath in through the nose, out through the mouth.

I killed him once before. If I had to, I'd do it again.

It was as simple as that.
