Chapter Fourteen

Laura sighed, dropping her purse on the entry table. Her apartment was pretty much how she’d left it the week before when she and Gwyneth fled to the Roberts’ house. Donny hadn’t tracked them down and after a week of hiding out, she was ready to go back to her home to trade out some toys and clothes for another week until she could figure out a long-range plan. A meeting was scheduled with a well-known domestic violence and family law attorney, and Laura was determined to get the legal help she needed to end Donny’s stalking once and for all.

Beth had driven her to the apartment complex and walked her to the door to make sure she got in safe and sound, promising to return within the hour after she went on a few errands. Laura smiled, grateful for her friend and coworker who had gone out of her way to help in their time of crisis. With the deadbolt snug, she made her way into the kitchen to throw out some leftovers she knew had gone bad in the fridge. She was just tying up a bag of garbage by its yellow tabs and was about to put a replacement bag into the can when she heard soft knocking on the door. Every muscle in her body tensed and she held her breath, hoping it would stop. A familiar voice could be heard outside.

“Laura? It’s Mrs. Donovan from across the breezeway.”

Rolling her eyes, she looked through the peephole. Mrs. Donovan had always been a very good neighbor, informing her of the latest comings and goings of people around them. She was friendly enough, just a little bit nosey which always made her sister Casey crazy.

Holding the knob of the door, she turned the large deadbolt with a click. “Hello, Mrs. Donovan. How are you?” She said through a small crack in the door.

The old lady held her little dog in her arms. A tiny, bright pink bow was tied in between its ears, which matched the woman’s blouse. Mrs. Donovan was a widower and Laura couldn’t help but feel sorry for the lonely woman who often color-coordinated outfits to match her dog’s bows.

“How was your vacation, dear?” She smiled pleasantly.

Laura thought for a moment before it dawned on her that perhaps her sister had told a small fib to account for their absence. “Oh…. It was nice. I’m just trying to get back into the swing of things. I’m actually waiting on my friend to pick me up and she’ll be here soon….”

“Well, it was so nice to meet Sam last week. I’m so happy your sister finally found a man to call her own. Did he go on vacation with you girls too?” It was obvious Mrs. Donovan was crushing on Sam.

“Um, sure. Yes, Sam was with us.”

“Oh, that’s wonderful! Isn’t that wonderful, precious?” She turned to her dog and smiled from ear to ear as she spoke in baby talk.

“Well, I have to get going, Mrs.
