I grab my keys and drive him home, and just before he gets out of the car, Morgan says, “Silas?”
“Yeah?”
“Don’t wait too long to tell Hunter.The longer you wait, the worse it’ll be when he finds out.”He pauses.“And he will find out.”
I watch him walk away, Princess bounding up to greet him at his door.
He’s right.I know he’s right.
Back home, I set the box on my kitchen counter and stare at it.There’s no return address.Just our two names printed on the label.
Silas Montgomery and Bailey Price.
Someone knows about us.
I look at the mysterious package.Someone in Here knows about Bailey and me.Someone who thought it was worth sending us...what?A gift?A warning?A joke?
There’s only one way to find out.
I grab scissors from the drawer and cut through the tape, pulling back the flaps.Inside is tissue paper, and beneath that?—
I start laughing.
It’s a vibrator.Someone sent us a brand-new, still-in-box vibrator.
There’s a card tucked inside.I pull it out and read: “Welcome home, Bailey.You belong Here.”
No signature.No clue who sent it.
But someone in this town knows our secret.And instead of exposing us, they’re...encouraging Bailey to move here?With a sex toy?
I’m still laughing when I text Bailey and explain about the package.
Temptress
So I opened it.
And?
Someone in Here knows about us.
The three dots appear and disappear several times.
Temptress
How do you know?
Silas
Because they sent us a vibrator and a card that says “Welcome home, Bailey.You belong Here.”
WHAT
Are you kidding me?
WHO WOULD DO THAT
No idea.It’s anonymous.No return address.
