She sighs

‘What?’

Lifting her eyes up at me, she says, ‘We had sex in a house that has just been raided Don’t you see how’

‘Thrilling it was?’ I reply

‘You think that was thrilling?’

She sounds… amazed

‘I made sure ere alone, Julia I made sure of it’

Her shoulders shift uncomfortably inward, as if they’re cold I make up for the shift

‘What happened?’

Her elbows knock ently I move inward and caress her breast with my pinky, and then, finally, cup it in laze over for a second as the ue still and watch and wait

‘It did not just start tonight I think this has been going on for a very long time I noticed it for the first ti of you, actually’ I hide ht went on and off I saw it I swear I saw it I had to come here to check on the house, and also because I need to find reat for me at the moment’

She sucks a sweet cold cup of air and goes on

‘Julia Forget finances You know I’ll take good care of you I’ll quadruple your salary Don’t worry about that What’s this other issue?’

‘I think I’ stalked, Henry’

‘How?’ I ask softly

‘You think a hacker is stalking you?’

‘Hacker… sounds old, but yes I think so’

Feeling a primal need to protect her, I hold her arhs are still sticky

‘Do you have a bag packed and ready to go?’

‘I do’
