Noticing Lindsey’s reluctance, Nancy chuckled.

“Don’t worry, we’ve got time.

You can tell me bit by bit.

“hat?” Before Lindsey could react, Nancy stepped on the gas and started the car.

Nancy drove Lindsey to her home, a quiet suburban row house.

Upon arrival, Nancy threw the keys onto the shoe cabinet, took Lindsey by the hand, and they both walked into the living room.

After removing their shoes, they settled onto the sofa.

“My parents are visiting relatives out of town, so I’m alone.

You should stay over tonight.

It’s been ages since we’ve had a proper chat!”

Lindsey, hearing this, felt a wave of relief and sat down beside Nancy.

Curious about Lindsey’s boyfriend Nancy listened intently as Lindsey opened up about everything involving her and Domenic.

Finishing her story, Lindsey felt a burden lift off her shoulders.

It had been a long time since she had shared her personal issues with someone else.

“Lindsey, I had no idea you were going through all this.

You should’ve told me sooner; maybe I could’ve offered some help or advice.

” Looking at Lindsey, Nancy felt sorry and helpless.

“Talking about your boyfriend, despite going a bit overboard with the stalking, I can empathize with his emotions.

It’s a sign of his deep concern for you.

Perhaps he’s just gone about it the wrong way.

Lindsey knew this, yet she couldn’t shake off the sting of mistrust.

First her father, and now Domenic, doubting her.

It left her feeling lost and alone, as if the whole world had turned its back on her.

“You can’t just let him off the hook, though.

He needs to understand what he did wrong and assure you it won’t happen again,” Nancy insisted.

Just then, Lindsey’s phone began to ring.

Domenic’s name appeared on the screen.

Noticing Lindsey’s hesitation, Nancy quickly caught on to who was calling.

She gently touched Lindsey’s arm and urged, “Go on, answer…”

Lindsey, feeling helpless, picked up the phone but remained silent.

“Lindsey, where are you?”

The sound of that familiar, pleasant voice filled the air.

Lindsey felt her heart soften, but she quickly steeled herself.

“Did you call me so late because you’re worried I might be with another man behind your back again?”

After a brief silence, Domenic said softly, “I’m just concerned about your safety being out so late.

When are you planning to return?”

Looking up, Lindsey saw Nancy shaking her head and her mouth forming the word “no”.

Making up her mind, Lindsey declared, “I’m staying at my best friend’s place tonight.

I’m not coming back.

Nancy responded with an encouraging thumbs up.

Feeling distressed, Domenic responded quietly, “Okay, stay there tonight.

I’ll come to get you tomorrow.
