She paused in front of her dresser, her eyes closing, feeling relief that she could count on her father. There was no way she could let on to him that she was close to crying.
“Thanks, Daddy,” she breathed and hung up. She flew around her room. She was dressed and packed within ten minutes. She walked into the living room and dropped her overnight bags down on the couch.
A knock sounded at the door.
Her heart raced.
Not again.
Anya wiped her hands on her jeans and slowly made her way to the front door.
“Who is it?” she called out.
“It’s Officer Cain, ma’am.”
Anya stood on her tiptoes and peered through the peephole, and indeed Officer Cain was outside her door again.
“Can I help you?” she asked, opening the door.
“Hope I’m not bothering you, ma’am.” He ran a hand along his face. He looked dead on his feet. “After we escorted Mr. Willis from the property, I decided to wait around to make sure he left as directed.”
Anya swallowed hard, not liking the way this story was going. “Okay.”
“I’ve been doing this a long time, ma’am, and I can tell there are some things you are holding back. Well, anyway, just as I expected, he came back.”
“Oh my God.” Anya gripped the door handle tight for fear that she’d fall.
“Don’t worry, ma’am. We’ve arrested him for trespassing. Will you be able to stop by the station some time tomorrow to sign some papers? It will be my formal report, and we just need your witness statement and signature.”
“Yes, of course. I can come.” She was in shock. Any other cop would have probably continued on his way and not thought twice about her.
Officer Cain indeed went above and beyond.
“Well, you go have a good night, ma’am. If you need anything, here’s my card.”
“Goodnight, and thank you.” She closed the door and stared down at the card.
Someone up above was looking out for her.
