Summary
She tells herself she isn’t sure if he’s there at night, even as she strains herself to hear any sign - telltale boots, a cough. Sometimes she holds her breath, in a vain attempt to see if she can hear his.
Only her own heartbeat, thumping away slightly too fast in her inner ear, ever greets her. There’s nothing interesting for him to see, she says to the drab roof, the whisper of it echoing out too far, too soon, giving away something more than she intended. Maybe even more than that.
"Can you feel it when someone else is watching you? A lot of people thought so.”
- Cormack McCarthy, No Country For Old Men.
