After a quick shower, Evan drives me to the bakery where I select a Babka for my mother and a box of assorted pastries for his sister. Evan refuses to let me pay, but I am in such a delightful mood this morning, I concede much easier than I normally would. I wish I could have made my own dessert, but this will have to do.

My favorite coffee shop is open, allowing us to get our morning caffeine fix. The next stop is back to my house so I can pick up a change of clothes and a few other personal items. I know I won’t be sleeping home tonight, so I need to pack an overnight bag.

Evan insists that I stay in the car while he inspects the house. I give him my keys and wait. My mind starts racing, playing the ‘what if’ game over and over. What if the stalker came back? What if he’s waiting in the house right now? What if he’s left a trap of some kind? What if Evan gets hurt? Minutes feel like hours as I wait for Evan to return to the car.

After what seems like an eternity, Evan stands at the front door and waves me in. Relieved, I join him and start gathering my things.

“Can you show me exactly what was left lying on your bed last night?” He follows me as I lead him to my bedroom closet.

Hanging right where I left it is my red dress. I hand it to him, along with my high heels. Normally, I would expect him to tease me about wearing this sexy, little number, but not now. His jaw is set tight and I can see his anger returning.

“Evan, I loved that dress, but now? I really don’t ever want to see it again. Will you please throw it away for me?”

“With pleasure. My next pleasure will come when you let me take you shopping to replace it. I would love to see you trying on dresses for me.”

“I don’t think so, baby. No one has ever bought me clothes other than my mother. It just doesn’t feel right.” I don’t know why, but allowing him to take me shopping would make me feel like a gold digger. “It’s just too soon to start spending your money.”

“You’re so different from any other girls I’ve ever known. Maybe I should check one more time to make sure you really do have girl parts.” Evan peeks down the neck of my shirt, “Nope, everything seems to be in order down there.”

I swat him away, “Would you let me finish, please? Make yourself useful and go take out the trash, please.” He needs to find a better way to keep his hands busy. His phone keeps beeping with new text messages. “And while you’re at it, tell who ever keeps texting you that it’s a holiday. No working today. Got it?”

“Yes, ma’am.” Evan lets me finish packing, and soon enough, we’re on our way back to his house.
