A few hours later, Madilyn silently crept around the room looking for her clothes when the lamp beside the bed came on. She jumped and glanced at Brody.

“Sneaking out on me? I feel so cheap,” Brody said as he sat up against the headboard.

“I didn’t mean to wake you. I have to get going.” She put her knee on the bed, leaned down, and kissed him. “Call me tomorrow.”

“I will. I’m starting back on my regular shift tomorrow night but I’m off from Saturday to Monday night.” Brody tried to pull her into the bed.

Madilyn laughed. “Stop. I have to go.” She quickly kissed him. “I love you.”

“I love you, too. Be careful driving Copper Ridge.”

Madilyn blew him a kiss and ran out the door. She hated driving in the dark but she couldn’t stay. Not tonight. In two nights, she’d go stay with him for the weekend. She grinned. Being back with him was amazing. It was as if no time had passed and they’d never been apart. Madilyn frowned as it started to rain. Driving in the dark was bad enough, but add in rain and it was almost impossible. The headlights reflected off the wet road. She slowly drove the curve of Copper Ridge. A car came up behind her and was too close for her liking, staying close to her bumper. There was no place to pull over and let them pass so she lightly tapped her brakes. The car fell back from her. She breathed a sigh of relief and finally made it to her apartment complex. When she pulled in, the car slowed and for a minute she thought it was going to pull in behind her but it picked up speed and drove on past.

She blew out a relieved breath. She certainly wasn’t in the mood for any confrontation. Pulling into her parking spot, Madilyn locked her car and ran for the overhang to get out of the rain. A scream tore from her when a dark figure stepped in front of her. A hand covered her mouth.

“Shut up.” Zach!

Madilyn kicked his shin and scratched at his face. “Get away from me,” she shouted.

Zach pulled her up the stairs to her apartment and shoved her to her door. “Open it,” he growled.

“Go to hell,” Madilyn screamed.

Zach wrestled her keys from her hand and unlocked her door. Once opened, he pushed her inside. Madilyn ran for the phone but Zach tackled her and rolled her to her back. She fought back and started to scream again but he put his hand over her mouth.

“Shut up, Madilyn. I’m not going to hurt you.”

She stopped struggling and nodded. He removed his hand and stood. Madilyn kicked her foot up into his groin and watched as he fell to his knees. She scrambled up, grabbed the phone, and called the sheriff’s department. Then she ran behind the sofa and kept an eye on Zach. He laid on the floor groaning. Since the sheriff’s department was just down the street, they were there in minutes.
