Chapter 6

Chelsie, of course, swore she had nothing to do with it. Matt said he questioned her for nearly an hour, until the public setting of the coffee shop wasn’t enough to stop her from causing a scene. She stormed out shouting, “You can’t blame everything on the ‘psycho ex,’ shithead!”

I tried everything, Matt’s text read. Either therapy has somehow made her better at lying, or she really has no idea what’s going on. I’m sorry :(

Kellan’s worst fears were confirmed. It was some random stalker. Despite not wanting the bastard to know their scare tactics were working, Kellan was now truly afraid to leave his apartment or the restaurant. Even in those sanctuaries he didn’t feel completely safe, since the stalker knew where he lived, where he worked, and—thanks to his planner—when he was scheduled to be in certain places. The only thing that gave him a sense of security was the knowledge that the stalker couldn’t go barging into the kitchen while he was working, and that if they broke into his house there was bound to be someone in the building there to witness it and call for help.

Their conflicting schedules meant Matt was asleep when Kellan got home, and that Kellan woke up briefly when Matt had to leave for work, but otherwise it was nice to spend more time together. At last, they got to cuddle up and listen to a thunderstorm together, even though the lightning was a few miles away and the thunder was muffled by the time it reached them. Kellan wished they could move in together, but the rules about couples sharing a one-bedroom apartment in his building meant the rent would go up enough that neither of them would be able to afford it. Every place they had looked at was either too far from either of their jobs, too expensive, or was such a shit hole that it would cost a small fortune to make it habitable. This extended sleepover was as close as they were going to get, and were it under any other circumstances, Kellan would have been perfectly content.

However, on the third night Matt stayed over, they were both awoken by a loud crash, followed by the sound of the curtains on Kellan’s bedroom window whipping around with a sudden gust of wind. Someone had thrown a brick through the window, and Kellan’s
