I sit in Bella's Audi on the dark street, eyeing the rundown house with a single light on.

I know it's him.

James.

The man who's taken my world.

The screen door opens, and I tense.

Torn.

He comes out.

Barefoot.

Dirty blond hair.

Beer bottle in hand.

I grip the door handle, ready to pounce.

No one would know.

He pauses on the walkway, a small blue Volkswagen next to the curb.

He turns right, walking up the sidewalk toward a liquor store on the corner.

I wait.

I watch.

I rage.

And then I go home.

To Masie.
