Just Started

She had just started when we heard the doorbell....

"Oh....they're here....you wait right here Sissy....I'll be right back...."

Who was here? Why right now? Are they here to humiliate me? 

Thousands of scenarios flashed through my mind....and I was keenly aware of the weight of the paddle resting on me....

I listened as intently as I could until I heard footsteps on the stairs....

It was definitely more than one person....
