I Woke Up to a Black Garage Door Every Morning — I Set Up Cameras, and the Midnight Visitor Turned Out to Be Someone I Trusted

The person stepped back, glanced around, and lowered the hood.

I recognized the jacket immediately.

It belonged to Kelsie.

I rushed downstairs and threw open the front door, but she dropped her paint roller and ran between the houses before I could catch her.

When Toby joined me, I told him what I’d seen.

“Kelsie? That can’t be right,” he said. “She’s always been so friendly.”
