A Beautiful Name

Romeo Mclary

(The pizza delivery guy, who is believed to be the killer)

At the first sound of the thunder, Romeo frowned. He looked outside his window.

"A storm is coming," he uttered in a low, almost gentle voice. His eyes turned towards the frame that was sitting peacefully on his desk. In the frame was an image of a woman. Green eyes, brown hair and a beautiful smile that he adored, "I know you hate storms. Its alright, I won't leave you."

Then he turned his attention back to the book in his hand. It was Dante's, one of his wife's favorites. He loved reading it for her as they listened to Mozart's requiem mass. 

When Romeo felt someone walk inside his room, his frown grew deeper.

"I did not allow anyone to come in." He wasn't  in the mood to talk to anyone. Not after his plan failed.

He thought of the woman whose eyes were so green, it reminded him of the forest.

Just like his wife's eyes.
