Not allowed inside
The memory of a time when Abby could wander into the shed without restrictions seemed like a distant one. Recently, her father had emphatically told her that she was not allowed inside, making her wonder why the sudden change. Especially since she used to retrieve tools like shovels and rakes without a second thought.
From the guarded way he acted, and his unwillingness to meet her eyes, she couldn’t help but feel that he was intentionally hiding a profound secret from her. This sensation grew stronger with each passing day, pushing her to a point where she felt an insatiable need to uncover the depth of his deception and to understand its roots.
