Over the Edge
“I awoke again and again in a sweat, my body aching as if I'd just endured a triathlon. I thought of Lauren, grateful she wasn't sleeping at our house. She wasn't safe there, none of us were. What were we going to do about that? Could the police post a guard outside our home?
What about Brock tonight, in our bedroom by himself? What if that stalking man came back with a tick for him?
And what Stalking Man had done—it wasn't really blackmail, as Brock claimed. Blackmail was a threat of ha...rm if you didn't do something. But the man had already harmed me. So if I didn't convince Brock to change his medical opinion of Lyme—so what?

When morning finally came I pushed myself from bed and onto shaky legs to visit the bathroom.MoreLess
