Emma and David try to flee, but the house won't let them leave. Doors seal. Windows fuse. And now that Emma has truly looked at it, she sees it everywhere—even with her eyes closed. In the basement…
I didn't sleep that night.
I sat on the couch in the living room, every light in the house blazing, watching David watch the windows.
He didn't move, didn't speak, just stood there in the glow of lamps and overhead fixtures, his eyes tracking something I couldn't see.
Or maybe something I didn't want to see.
Not again.
He laughed, but it came out wrong.
Hollow.
That's weird.
I feel like I was just...
Just what? He frowned, rubbed his eyes.
I don't know.
Watching something.
I wanted to scream at him.
Wanted to grab his shoulders and shake him and tell him what I'd seen in the hallway, what I'd read on the closet walls, what Margaret Weatherby had told me about her husband who couldn't leave.
But something stopped me.
Some instinct that said pushing too hard would push him further away, further into whatever the house was doing to him.

Get breakfast somewhere, see a movie.
Just get out of the house for a while.

He was already drifting toward the window again.
In a bit.
I just want to...
Something in my voice got through to him.
