CHAPTER TEN

Peter hid out in the Men’s Room on the first floor of Tennyson Towers. He fidgeted with the keys in his pocket and his nose argued with the aromas that occasionally affronted him, but the outcome would make all of the offenses worthwhile. To steady his nerves, he peeked out of the door every few moments. He hoped to catch a glimpse of Angel entering the building. When he found her. . .

Well, he wasn’t sure what would happen then, but he would do his best to reason with her. If his patience held out. A few moments into the wait, his cell phone beeped. A text message from his mother caused him to groan. “She’s an angel,” it read.

“Maybe in your eyes, Mom,” he muttered. “But you don’t really know the real Angel.” Of course, he didn’t either, but he would remedy all of that today. In just a few minutes, hopefully. He glanced at his watch and sighed.

11:00 a.m.

The moments turned into nearly an hour and Peter grew weary with the process. Still he remained, waiting and worrying. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind as he contemplated what could have become of her. Had her rough-looking boyfriend hurt her in some way? Was she in trouble?

Suspecting the worst, he had come today for one last shot at talking some sense into her. He would take her to the women’s shelter. If she agreed to go. But first he had to find her and right now that didn’t seem to be happening. He glanced out of the door again, and then apologized for the umpteenth time as someone tried to squeeze in around him.

11:59 a.m.

With a look of sheer determination on that beautiful face, Angel entered the lobby, her tennis shoes squeaking against the tile floor as she made her way in haste. Clearly a woman on a mission. That concerned him. Greatly.

She bounded across the lobby, eyes focused. Peter slipped out of the Men’s room and did his best to follow behind her. She headed for the stairwell. He opted to take the elevator, knowing where she would end up. God, whatever she’s about to do, watch over her. Guard her. Keep her from making the biggest mistake of her life.
