While Abram puts his clothes back on, I begin to feel guilty about the way I’d been treating him. He doesn’t have any idea why I’ve been so harsh towards him, and I don’t really either. It takes me a moment to really unpack what’s been eating away at me, and then I remember.

Cole is still out of prison.

“Hey, there’s something I need to talk to you about,” I say, starting to feel my anxiety rise again as the afterglow fade and reality hits.

“What’s up?” he asks, pulling the zipper up on his charcoal slacks.

“I’ve been a complete asshole to you lately, especially after I got out of the hospital, and I just need to apologize. I feel absolutely terrible,” I confess, sitting up straight in the bed to look at him more directly.

“I mean, you had a head injury that was caused by my involvement with the cartel. Being angry at me is hardly a crime,” he replies.

“No, no. There’s something else that’s been stressing me out, and I’ve been meaning to talk to you about it for a while,” I say nervously.

His eyes narrow. “Is someone at the club harassing you? Are the girls giving you a hard time because I chose you?” he asks, already allowing his anger to take over his judgment.

“No, it’s nothing like that. Everything at the club is fine now. It’s my ex,” I begin, feeling his energy change as soon as I say the word ex.

“Fuck, please don’t tell me that you’re going back to him or something,” he says, his voice slightly pleading with a tinge of annoyance.

My body stiffens. “No, absolutely not. It’s nothing like that. What happened is that he recently got out of prison, and I’m afraid that he’s going to come after me and kill me,” I confess, feeling the weight of the statement leave as soon as I’ve put it into the atmosphere.

He sits up straighter. “Wait, your ex was in prison? For what?” he asks.

I pause for a moment. I know that as soon as I say what he did, Abram will know exactly who I’m talking about.

“He murdered five women,” I’m finally able to confess.

He thinks for a moment. “Wait, is your ex that guy that was on the news constantly like three years ago? Cole something?” he asks.

I nod my head solemnly. “Yeah, that’s him. Cole Davis. He was recently released on a technicality, and it’s only a matter of time before he comes after me and finds me. He already has my phone number. I’m the one who turned him in, so there’s definitely animosity.”

He sits next to me on the bed again, putting his arms around me. “I am not going to let that psycho anywhere near you. I remember the details of that case because all the girls at the club were talking about it nonstop. That guy is a psycho,” he says.

I begin to tear up at the memory of what he did. I had found a box of used panties with a necklace and a cellphone hidden in the storage unit of our apartment.
