“Fuck,” I mumble, tripping over something solid as I get off the elevator. Glaring at the culprit, I see Sayer’s school bag. What the fuck does she have in there? Bricks? Lead? Water bottles?

Eyeing it with distaste, I shove the bag against the wall before walking farther into my home.

Looking for the blonde that has me going up the damn wall.

I’ve spent hours, countless, painstakingly useless hours looking for the person who sent her that letter. As I have every day since she showed it to me. But today was different.

Last night, long after she went to sleep, a text was sent to her phone from an unsaved number.

I had some things to take care of after I put her in bed, knowing she was out by the time I laid her out on the mattress and maybe that’s why I felt compelled to give her the sweet kiss that I did, but when I came back downstairs to grab my phone, I heard hers go off.

Not caring it was going against her privacy, I checked it. I had to.

And I almost threw her phone across the room when I saw what was on it.

A picture zoomed in on Sayer and me, naked with her bent over the couch. A face of pure ecstasy.

Accompanied by it was a message.

Or rather, messages.

Sluts must run in the family.

Hope you enjoy your sister’s seconds.

It’s only a matter of time before he grows tired of you and I get my hands on you.

Forgetting the work I was going to do, I strolled to the window. The appearance of calm was just that, an appearance. I wanted to smash the phone, shatter the windows. And keep Sayer locked away.

I won’t do that though.

Sayer’s a bird that will never go back in a cage.

The number the texts were sent from was a burner phone, completely useless.

But the picture had to be taken from one of the neighboring buildings. I took inventory. Assessed what floor could have potential to see into my place with a camera zoom. I made a list.

A list that got me fucking nowhere today.

The only lead I got was from one room. It was abandoned. It was actually in the perfect position to spy into my downstairs. But there was no trace, no clues. Gabe and I went there finding nothing. We even dusted for prints and got nothing. Thea looked on the security and ATM cameras and struck out as well.

Sayer doesn’t know about the messages. I deleted it and blocked the number right after sending everything to Thea.

And Sayer isn’t going to know.

I made a promise to keep her safe. And I’ve taken it more seriously than I ever intended to.

I mean, she’s living with me for fuck’s sake. All of her stuff is scattered around like it’s her place. No wonder her family’s cleaning service was over every single day.

Sayer Brooks is kind of a slob.

And her hair.

Her goddamn hair.

It’s everywhere.

It’s like living with a mangy cat, shedding and shedding. How is she not bald yet? How much hair can one person have?

It grates against my skin, my OCD.
