Emma was more frightened than she’d ever been in her life.
Her memory was spotty at best. She was filling in the edges, but a giant blank space remained at the center. The blow to her head had left her with only random dribbles of recollection surrounding the events leading to the accident.
Who had put the envelope of photos in her overnight bag—and when? They’d been placed there after the accident, that much she knew.
Someone had been watching her and wanted her to know she was exposed.
“I’m sorry,” Liam said, his expression awash with guilt. “We were supposed to keep you safe, and we didn’t.”
“I don’t blame you. Everyone did their best. I’m here, aren’t I? I survived the accident. I survived the attack.”
She’d survived because someone out there wanted her to. He wanted her alive because he had worse things in store for her.
Her stalker was giving her sly nudges to let her know she wasn’t safe. He was letting her know there were no gaps in his memory of her.
When I first started writing, a mentor encouraged me to tape a picture of a “reader” to my computer to remind me of the most important part of the story—you. The reader is the most essential contribution to any book. Writers only provide the framework; your imagination does the rest. Now when I sit in front of my computer, I know I’m writing for Terrill, Valri, Debra E. and Trixi. I’m writing for Marnita, Bobby, Vernell and Cathy... I’m writing for you. I hope you enjoyed Liam and Emma’s journey!
I love connecting with readers and would enjoy hearing your thoughts
