Once they had discussed the costume ideas, Lewis cleared his throat and said, “I also wanted to ask your opinion on something.” Addy tucked her sketchpad into her purse and turned back to him, clasping her hands in front of her. “What’s up?” she asked. He cleared his throat and glanced around the room before speaking. “I want to do something special for Kendall at the festival, but I don’t know what to do,” he said sheepishly. She smiled at him and said, “That sounds wonderful! I bet she’d love that!” Smiling at her, he said, “I sure hope so. I want to show everyone how special she is, but I haven’t got the foggiest idea on how to do it.” Addy thought for a moment, tapping her lips as she thought. “Do you do anything before they show your film?” she asked. He nodded and said, “The filmmakers usually give a short speech.” Addy’s face lit up, and she said, “How about adding something about her in your speech?” Lewis’s face lit up at the suggestion. “That’s a

“Do you think Cort and Brooklyn are okay?” Shea asked as they rode in the cab toward the restaurant. “I’m sure they are,” Bradford said, patting Shea’s hand. She smiled at him and said, “I can’t help worrying about them. Who knows what that crazy woman is capable of?” “She does have crazy eyes, that’s for sure,” Bradford said, nodding. “Have you seen her up close?” Shea asked, looking at him with wide eyes. He nodded and said, “I made the mistake of answering the door one time when she knocked. Blimey! She was scary!” They pulled up to the restaurant, and Bradford told her, “No more talk about the crazy stalker. This is our night, and I don’t want her to ruin it for us.” Smiling, she nodded and slid out of the car. Bradford paid the driver and held his arm out for her to lead her into the restaurant. He let the host know he had a reservation, and she led them to a table toward the back of the room. “This is nice,” Shea said, looking around the darkened room. “Co

“Do you want to go somewhere else?” Brooklyn asked in a worried voice. Cort shook his head and said, “No, it’s time I faced her head-on.” “Do you think she’s dangerous?” Brooklyn asked, chewing on her lower lip. Shrugging, Cort said, “I can handle her.” He turned toward her and grinned, adding, “Besides, I’ll have you there as backup.” Brooklyn’s eyes widened, and she asked, “You don’t think she’ll come after me, do you?” “Don’t worry,” he said, putting his finger under her chin, so she would look up at him. “If she does, I’ll be here to protect you.” She looked at him before smiling and saying, “My knight in shining armor?” “If that’s what you want to think of me, then sure,” he said, staring down into her eyes. They stayed like that for a few moments, then Brooklyn’s phone buzzed, causing her to jump back from him. Scrambling for her phone, she looked at it, then frowned. “Bad news?” he asked. “Just my editor, asking about my article,” she said. “Am I k

After Addy and Lewis left the apartment, Shea put down her magazine and frowned. “Fine,” she muttered. “Don’t talk around me.” She stood up and walked toward the kitchen to pour herself a glass of milk. As she drank, her phone beeped, letting her know she’d received a text. Her eyes widened as she looked at her phone, and she put the glass down. “Ooh! It’s from Bradford,” she said when she saw the text. “Hey, gorgeous lady,” the text read. “I wanted to say how much I’m missing you right now. Are you free for dinner tonight?” She danced around the kitchen, grinning madly, before replying, “Hey, handsome! I’m missing you, too. As luck would have it, I am free for dinner tonight. What did you have in mind?” “I wanted to take you to that Italian restaurant across town,” he texted back. “I remembered you said how much you loved their chicken parm.” “He remembered!” Shea squealed as she shimmied in glee. “Ooh! That sounds divine!” she responded. “Great!” he texted. “I

A few days after Addy decided to contact various stores to see if they would sell her designs, Brooklyn headed for the library. She needed to research her latest article and also wanted to check out the latest books. Since it was one of those rare warm fall days where the sun was shining, she wore a plaid skirt, sleeveless top, and a sweater over top of it. She felt like a student as she walked into the library and giggled at the thought. Heading toward the upper floor where the research materials were located, she noticed the library was nearly empty. “One of the perks of coming early in the morning,” she whispered while waiting for the elevator. The doors opened, and she stepped inside, pushing the button for the top floor. She turned around and looked out of the glass as the elevator ascended. Her eyes narrowed as she thought she saw a familiar figure, but her view was blocked as the elevator rose higher. “No, it couldn’t be,” she whispered, shaking her head. The do

Kendall leaned against the counter, looking around the store. Hardly anyone was there since it was the middle of the week during the day. Kendall kept her eye on a group of young girls, which she was sure had skipped school that day. They huddled around the crystal display, oohing and aahing over the various stones. She didn’t get any negativity from their direction, so she kept half of her attention on them. Once they brought their purchases to the counter and paid, they left. Kendall looked around the store once more. No one remained. “Well, no time like the present for a little practice,” she said, pulling out her Tarot cards from under the counter. “Well, cards,” she said as she shuffled them. “What messages do you have for me today?” Flipping over the first card, she frowned. “Well, that doesn’t look good,” she said. “If I remember correctly, that’s a warning.” She flipped over another card, and her eyes grew wide. “I think that means a broken heart,” she whisp

Friday night came, and Shea rushed around the apartment, getting ready for her date with Bradford. “Girl, slow down!” Brooklyn told her from the couch, glancing up from the book she was reading. “You’re getting me exhausted just looking at you.” Shea stopped in the middle of the room and threw her hands up. “I can’t find my brown purse,” Shea said. “Have you seen it around?” Brooklyn tapped her lips as she thought, then asked, “Didn’t Addy borrow it the other day? She said it went with the boots she was wearing that day.” Shea snapped her fingers and said, “That’s right!” Rushing toward Addy’s door, she pounded on it, yelling, “Open up, Addy! It’s an emergency!” A few seconds went by before Addy yanked her door open. “What’s going on?” she asked, taking the pins out of her mouth. “My brown purse,” Shea said, her eyes wide. “Do you still have it?” Confused, Addy nodded and pointed over her shoulder, saying, “It’s on my dresser. Let me get it.” Shea waited, shifting from

“Did you see the look on Shea’s face when Kendall told us that Lewis wanted us all in his next movie?” Addy asked Brooklyn at breakfast. Brooklyn nodded, chewing her bite of cereal. Chasing it down with a gulp of milk, she said, “She didn’t look too happy that he wanted everyone in it.” Addy shook her head, biting into her toast. After swallowing, she said, “I wonder if Shea had the idea that she would be the star of the movie and now feels like we’re butting in on her big break.” “I hope not,” Brooklyn said, frowning. “I don’t want her to think we’re trying to take over her role or anything.” “We can only wait and see,” Addy said. Glancing up at the clock, she gasped and asked, “Is that really the time? I’ve got to get some work in on our outfits before Troy comes to get me for coffee.” She shoved the last bite of bagel into her mouth, washing it down with the last of her coffee before setting her dirty dishes in the sink. “I’ll do them when I get back,” she calle

“What do you mean, you think Cort has a stalker?” Addy asked. “What happened?” Brooklyn closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Opening her eyes, she said, “As you know, I went to see Cort to make sure we were good.” Shea and Addy nodded. “We’re cool, by the way,” she said with a slight smile. “Good to hear,” Shea said. “Tell us about the stalker,” Addy said, waving her hand to speed up the story. “Oh, yeah,” Brooklyn said, shaking her head. “When we had finished talking, he went back inside his apartment, and I turned toward the doorway to the stairs. I heard someone calling out to me and turned around. This woman was hurrying toward me with this weird look on her face.” Addy gasped and asked, “What did you do?” “I took a step back, but she got right into my face,” Brooklyn said, her eyes wide. “What?” Shea asked, her mouth dropping open. “Did she say anything?” Addy asked. “She asked me how I knew Cort,” Brooklyn said. “What did you tell her?” Shea aske
