They left me abandoned 480 kilometers away as a joke.

“So that’s why you came?” I asked. Do you want me to protect your reputation?

“No. I came because I finally understand what I did.”

He admitted that he hoped he would ask for help and come back to him. My disappearance forced him to acknowledge that I was safer without him.

“I’m sorry,” he said. I know I don’t deserve forgiveness.

“You left laughing.”

“I know.”

Grant came over, stood by me and held my hand.

Kyle looked at us.

“You look happy.”

“I am.”

He nodded.

“There is something else. Brad and Chase are facing charges. They caught another woman inside an office building overnight and filmed her panic. The prosecutor wants to prove a pattern. You may be asked to testify.”

He handed me a business card

“If you tell your story, you could prevent them from hurting other people.”

I accepted the card.
