Or you secretly like it? Admit it, you’re a little curious about me.

Regan

Curious? More like trying to figure out how to get a restraining order.

She added a little smiley face, and I smiled down at my phone.

Rook

Good luck. Restraining orders are for people who actually follow the rules.

Regan

So what’s your plan? Keep stalking me until I call the cops?

Rook

I’m not sure yet. Maybe I’m just bored? And calling the cops has zero effect on what I do.

I had also used Evie’s computer to install a security system app. One that would easily connect to Regan’s house security, so I had a little control over it. It also helped me blank out a few of the cameras when I needed to.

I clicked the button, unlocking the doors all at once.

“Rook!” she screamed.

I wanted to be closer. I wanted to see if she would be shaking in fear or if she would reach out to me.

Rook

Yes, Rebel?

Regan

Knock it off, you’re freaking me out.

Rook

You’re all alone.

Regan

Thanks, that’s really helping.

Rook

Shouldn’t this place be filled to the brim with staff and your dad?

Regan

No, and he’s away on business.

Rook

For how long?

Regan

A few days? Idk.
