What had been a good day, she’d felt free for the first time in months, had turned into just another nightmare that was her life. She wasn’t close friends with Robert, but they’d parted on good terms and she’d never had any issues with him. The stalker was making it so she never wanted to leave her apartment. Melody had been completely serious when she’d suggested to Tex that she leave again. She couldn’t keep going through this. Melody had no idea what Tex really thought about it because he hadn’t responded to her suggestion and he’d been quiet since they’d arrived home. He took care of Baby and had even made her a quick dinner. He’d kept their conversation light and if she was honest with herself, it was freaking her out. Melody was deathly afraid he was going to decide she was too much trouble. It’s what, she was ashamed to admit, she’d think about doing if the situation was reversed. “Go get ready for bed, Mel. I’ll be there in a bit.” Melody didn’t argue.
