Linda doesn’t move or respond.
The woman in the long black cloak advances up the driveway. In the trees, a large bird begins to caw manically. Linda can’t see the woman’s face, as it remains shadowed within her large, full hood. She braces herself. The woman keeps walking toward her.
“Hello,” she says again.
“Hello,” Linda whispers.
“I’m looking for Dr. Manwaring.”
The woman has stopped just a few feet away. Linda still can’t clearly see her face.
“Who are you?” Linda asks in a small, choked voice.
The woman reaches up and folds down her hood, revealing hair of startling gold. She smiles.
“I’m his wife,” she says.
