The surveillance footage of the parking lot had been little help in identifying the person who’d smashed Sally’s windshield. All they’d been able to see was a man who’d walked onto the property, his face shadowed by a baseball cap, smashed the car with a bat and ran away. Ben’s stomach had been on fire for most of the night, burning as he thought about Sally being in danger, and the time he was about to spend with her. They’d agreed she would stay the night at Tessa’s, but that he’d pick her up at her own home. After his run, Ben spent a good part of the morning washing and vacuuming his car. His vehicle couldn’t compete with Sally’s BMW, but getting a rental would look desperate. He called her before he left his apartment. “I hope you don’t mind,” she’d said. “Since this was so last minute, I’m just wearing an old dress I found.” Of course he didn’t mind, and he’d felt the knot in his gut relax slightly.
