Yacob insisted the woman would be home, so why had she not answered the door? She must be avoiding me on purpose.

Elias pressed the doorbell again, but his patience waned as the seconds dragged on without a response. A sly grin crept across his face, and he spoke with unwavering determination through the door. “I know you’re inside. If you don’t open the door, I’ll find a way to make you do so.”
