They Thought the Lake House Was Their Prize. They Never Read the Clause That Made It Their Prison.215

They wanted Bellweather House.

So I gave it to them.

They wanted the land.

So I let them claim it.

They wanted the inheritance.

So I let Flynn sign his name beneath every page.

The house was never the trap.

Their greed was.

And all I had done was close the door behind them.
