Unscathed

PHOTO PROMPT © Peter Abbey 

As the sun went down, I knew the problems were only beginning.  The problems the night would bring were so final, I knew I wouldn’t be able to get through them myself.  If only Richard hadn’t backed out at the last minute, I would have a little help in dealing with Samantha.  I knew her obsessions with the ocean and marine life would lead to her demise, but what worried me was the idea her death might be linked back to me.  I knew what I had to do to get her out of my life and leave Florida unscathed.
