Sandee had loaned him some money. He said at the gate over the intercom that he had the money on him and wanted to pay her back. If she could just let him in, he would drop it off and leave. After buzzing Humphrey in, Sandee allowed him into her apartment. She was in a hurry, getting ready for work. “Can I get a ride with you?” he asked. Sandee was unsure. But…oh, what the hell. “Yeah.” “I need to get ready,” Humphrey said. He had just come from the gym. He had his work clothes with him. Sandee said okay, he could change in the bathroom. As Humphrey got dressed, Sandee took a minute and thought through things. This drive to work would be a good opportunity to tell Humphrey that their relationship—whatever it was—needed to come to an end immediately. She was losing her mind. He had gotten into her head. She was frightened. And in her view, friends didn’t scare each other. She couldn’t go on like this. On the way home from work later that night, Sandee decided as Humphrey got dressed, she’d tell him.
