Staring at the card with blurry eyes, | felt giddy as read his text again and again until | couldn't see his elegant
handwriting. My hand shook as | set the card on the table and looked back up at the bouquet, | had never gotten
flowers before. Another ring sounded from the inteand I quickly dried my tears before walking back to the
door and answering it. "Hi, there is a delivery here for Angelia Hartwell. Are you her?"
"Yes, | will be right there." | had to swallow several times to get rid of the lump lodged in my
throat.

This tthere was a man at the door, instead of a bouquet, he held a box from a local bakery. There was a note
taped to the side of the box and I found myself more anxious to read it than to see what was in the box.
"Have a
a nice day." | told the delivery man and just as | began shutting the door, another man door.

"Are you Angelia Hartwell by any chance?" He was holding another box, this one bigger than the

Carefully, | detached the card from the box so it wouldn't rip. "These will forever remindof the day you

'I miss sharing my kitchen with you, cooking isn't the swhen you aren't here. Cback to us, my little
one.’
here wasn't a nwritten below but | knew it was from Kingston. | had never cooked with anyone but him and
there was no one else who calledpumpkin. My heart was going wild as | gazed at their presents. They
weren't extravagant or expensive and | liked that even more because their gifts were picked within their
minds. This wasn't meant to buy my affection, it was meant to remindof what we had together and how
special it was. And it did remind me. | remembered cuddling with Marshall after | had spent the first night at his
place. | remembered
our meeting when | had agreed to bectheir submissive and how Riccardo had taken care of

that | could look back on with a happy smile when | was old and gray. For a fourth time, the interang, |
couldn't wipe the silly smile from my face as another delivery person toldthey had a package for me.
When they had said they would fight for me, | hadn't imagined they would do it with sweet gifts and heartfelt
words. | had thought they would houndon my phone, texting and calling and maybe even show up at Andy's
doorsteps. This, though, was perfect. They were givingspace but at the stshowinghow much
they cared. This time, instead of a gift, | was handed a brown envelope. Through the envelope, | could feel that
whatever was in it was firmer than paper. Had they sentpictures too? The thought made my smile widen. |
felt lighter by the second as if the pain of these past days was erasing itself. | didn't care so much about the gift,
their words were more than enough. They were showingthat | meant something to them and it made me
soar.
Taking two stairs at a time, | locked myself back inside the apartment. The other gifts were momentarily
forgotten as | opened the envelope, excited to see what else they had up their sleeves. | was careful as | reached
inside and took it out. | laughed happily as | felt the smooth content with my fingers. It was a picture. It took me
a moment to register what | was looking at but when I did, my heart dropped. It was a picture taken yesterday at
the park. | could see myself standing by the lake with one of my hands in Riccardo's and the one" stretched out
for what | knew should be his cheek but all | saw were ruined paper because Riccardo's face was scratched out.

Oh my goodness, | stared at the ruined picture as a shock took hold of me. | could feel at least two more pictures
underneath this one but | was afraid to look. Steeling myself, | picked up the top one and put it behind the
others. The following picture was of Marshall andby the slake

them. "Oh no! Oh no!!" | kept mumbling, my eyes strayed towards the picture against my will.
A whimper escapedwhen | saw words written on the back of the one picture that had landed face down.
Trembling, | bent down and picked it up. The film shook as my hand trembled.
"They don't deserve you.'
Letting the picture yet again slip from my hand, | picked up another one and turned it around, searching for more
messages.

"No!" | gasped, | stopped breathing when | looked at the last one. My chest tightened painfully as fear gripped
me.

As soon as | had gotten those pictures which were currently on the table between us, | rushed down to the police

"The thing is, we have to use our recourse for important matters and..."

taken aback as | was right now, hearing this policeman minimizing my fright. Sure, he could be right, this could
be just a prank but it didn't feel like that. Nobody waited hours forto make my moves so they could follow

day as usual as if | hadn't had someone followfor two days, take pictures of my men andand print said

so they could get a couple of laughs in? Yes, that sounded unlikely or whatever the hell that person was sounded
just as unlikely because why would someone stalk me? | was just me, nobody special. Chapter Comments
