Shelby was bored. Rex had been gone a while, and she was going crazy waiting for him to come back. Maybe she should sit on her balcony and read a little and bask in the sunlight of the warm day. Deciding she would do just that, she went to her bedroom to grab the book she had been slowly reading for the past month. She changed into a pink spaghetti strap tank and thin, white, cotton shorts.

She walked onto the balcony, and the heat hit her like a semitruck. It was a sweltering day, but she didn’t care. For the first time in her life, she was truly and completely happy. She sat in the chair at her bistro table as she brought the other chair to sit in front of her. She propped her feet up and admired her red toenail polish before cracking open her book.

She had read a chapter when she realized the heat was making her parched. She went back inside to quench her thirst when her phone rang. She picked up the receiver to answer it.

“Hello,” Shelby said.

“Soon, my sweet, soon.” The person hung up.

Shelby stood there confused for a moment. The voice sounded like a gravelly whisper. Not only did she not recognize the voice, but she had no idea what they were talking about. She pulled the phone away from her ear to look at the caller ID. It was a blocked number. She replaced the receiver on its cradle when a chill raced up her spine. Weird.

“No, Shelby, stop it!” she told herself. You will not let a stupid crank call ruin your newfound happiness. You are in love, and everything will be all right. Because as Rex proved just last night, he really can chase all the bad things away.

Pouring herself a glass of lemonade, she pondered that. She really was in awe of what had happened. She no longer felt like a victim of rape. She felt like a woman. A woman who could freely give and receive love without any guilt or remorse. Rex truly had healed her in every sense of the word. It was almost like he had been slowly taking her through the steps of recovery these past months. Last night, he made her take the final step, freeing her of all the hurt, the guilt, and the horrible memories.

She walked back out onto the balcony with her glass of ice-cold lemonade. Setting it down, she stretched like a content cat before sitting back down. She picked up her book and was about to open it when she felt that icy chill race down her spine once again. Was she being watched? She stood up to look out into the courtyard. But she didn’t see anything.

Shaking off the bizarre feeling, she reached for her lemonade. Would she always be just a bit on edge? Would she ever feel completely safe? Or would she only feel that level of peace when Rex was around.
