Jazmine consistently kept looking over her shoulder.
Ever since she woke up, she had been keenly aware of this odd sensation of someone standing behind her.
She thought it was a prank. Her father-in-law was known to pull them from time to time after all.
But no matter how much she said 'okay, the jig is up' or 'I'm not joking' Abaddon never popped out.
Then, she decided to call his bluff.
Abaddon had a high threshold for tomfoolery, but he also had certain lines he wouldn't cross.
When Jazmine walked into her bathroom and turned on the shower like she was about to step inside, she waited to feel Abaddon flee quick, fast, and in a hurry.
But he didn't. And that was the first time she considered that Abaddon might not be here at all.
Jazmine pulled on a pair of sleep pants and a robe before she exited her room.
Stepping out into the hallway, she curled her tongue and let out a low whistle.
