Chapter Eighteen

On the town car ride back from the massage, Clarke turns to me, ‘Okay, spill it! What is going on with you?” “What do you mean?” I play dumb.

“You have barely said two words in the last couple hours. I know you…is it the flowers today? Say, that is really a theme with that bitch. At least she splurged on roses this time. Those carnations were nasty.”

I couldn’t help but to chuckle. Sometimes Clarke can be so funny. “It’s not the flowers, or well, it is but it’s more than that. I am just so tired from all of this. My life has been in a whirlwind ever since I met Harrison. I am madly in love with him, but I can’t even enjoy any of this because of her.”

My mom clears her throat. “I am just sorry for you kids. It’s not fair what you have been put through. My baby girl finds the man of her dreams and he comes with a crazy woman. I just wish they would have locked her up for stealing the money, since they can’t stick her with the other shenanigans.”

Clarke grunts. “Yeah, they just need to throw her in a loony bin and forget where they put the key! Seriously though, what did Harrison say about the flowers?”

“He didn’t say too much; there’s not much that can be done, really. He is going to forward the copy of the card I sent him to the detective in Portland and to his father. Not that it will do much good with the case back home. All of her moves are well crafted and impossible to track back to her. Nothing she has done so far has been enough to arrest her.”

“What?! Since when is having someone attacked not enough? You almost died, Danners! How is that not a criminal activity? Can you please explain to me how the police have not been able to find any leads at all? It is unbelievable!”

“Oh, do you have to point that out again? I just can’t stand the constant reminder that I was attacked. My sleep is invaded every night with visions of someone chasing me. I rarely get a good night’s sleep. Believe me, I agree. It has all been very frustrating. Now I also have some new information that there is even more to the story than I knew about before.” I shake my head before anyone can ask.” I can’t discuss it right now. I need to talk to Harrison first.”

My mom and Clarke look at each other. Before Clarke can say anything, my mom pipes up, “Honey, would you rather we stay in for dinner tonight? It has been a nice day, but I am a little tired. I would be perfectly happy to order in.”

Clarke picks up on my mom’s cue, “I agree, I could go for some take out and comfy clothes. Maybe we could find a good chick flick on tonight?”

I am so damned relieved! “Are you two
