The package felt heavy, almost malicious, in Clara's hands. She didn't want to carry it inside, didn't want it within the pristine walls she'd so meticulously cleaned and curated. It was addressed to “Mr. Alistair Finch,” the man who'd left behind a trail of crumbs and bad vibes.

She set it on the kitchen counter, the surface immediately feeling contaminated. Each detail of the label - the smeared ink, the poorly applied tape - seemed to taunt her.

She shuddered, a cold wave washing over her. She resolved to just leave it on the counter; let the new owner deal with it.
