Chapter 38: Showdown
Kit banged loudly on the door of her mother's house with a closed fist. She'd driven here immediately after she'd left the office - she had to confront her mother and get to the bottom of all this. Although it was pretty clear what had happened, Kit wanted to hear it from her - and then tear her a new one.
She continued banging on the door incessantly when it wasn't answered. Matthew appeared at the door out of breath and confused when he noted Kit's furious expression - he'd come running from the other end of the house when he'd heard the banging.
"Kit -"
Kit pushed past him, completely ignoring him and heading for her mother's office. She could hear his footsteps on the hardwood floor as he followed behind her quickly - but she didn't care.
She burst into Maya's office, visibly startling her as she sat in the window seat reading a book. She was comfortably propped up against some cushions as she snapped her book shut.
