In the passenger seat, Heather tries to release her seatbelt, but it is stuck.</p> <p>&ldquo;Oh right. I keep forgetting,&rdquo; she says. She puts two hands on the seatbelt in front of her and tugs. It releases with a click. &ldquo;You should get that fixed.&rdquo;</p> <p>Jerome nods as he opens his door. &ldquo;Stay there. Wait for me.&rdquo; He walks around to her door, and she smiles as he opens it.</p> <p>&ldquo;Your mama raised you right,&rdquo; she says and slides out of the car.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/horror-hounds/midnight-portraits-ef46f9f2c526"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
