Chapter 11. Second Meeting

Becky's POV

I couldn’t sleep that night. I wondered how long the person had been there or if anyone had been there at all.

Was it my imagination?

 By six am, I was dressed. I went outside to see if I could find any sign of who could have been watching me, but I didn’t find anything.

I saw the woman Phillip had been with come out. I hid behind the tree and watched her walk through the gate. My heart squeezed remembering she had spent the night with Phillip.

"Remember you said you had forgotten about Phillip," I told myself.

I went back in and made coffee, then sat by the window sipping it slowly while waiting for Phillip to leave. I didn’t want to risk running into him.

He came out at exactly 8:00am. My heart beat quickened despite my resolve. I watched him head for the garage and minutes later he drove away.
