You broke my heart into pieces, and for that, you will pay. How could you be with someone like him?'" He lifted his eyes to hers. "Have you reported it?"
"No."
He swore viciously. "Why the hell not?"
"Don't shout at me."
"I am not shouting. What I should be doing is shaking some sense into you. You have been getting these damn letters from some sick pervert who thinks he owns you, and you have kept them to yourself. How could you? I am the man in your life, dammit, and I deserve to know-"
"I am sorry." She closed her eyes and wandered over to drop into one of the worn leather sofas. She rubbed her hands over her arms as the cold continued seeping through. "I did not want you to worry."
His expression softened, and he could feel the anger draining out of him as he stared at her face. She was scared, and he had never seen her that way before. Putting the letters aside, he strode over to drop down in front of her. Taking her hands in his, he felt a jolt at how cold they were.
"It's my job to worry and to fix. I do not appreciate you keeping this from me, darling."
"You are right." Her fingers gripped his. "I decided to tell you as soon as we arrived. Now I am going to spoil the vacation."
"Don't worry about that. We need to contact the local police."
"Yes. As soon as we get back."
"No. We need to do this now. I have a friend, his name is Wyatt -"
"I know him and his wife Audra."
"I am going to call him."
"It's late."
"Lynn-"
"Okay." She nodded. "Call him, and I don't know who this person is. From the letters he sent, he has seen all of my performances. But the postmarks are local."
"The bastard could have dropped it into a mailbox." He was seething with anger and fear. "I will get Wyatt to start doing his investigation."
"Thanks." She gripped his fingers. "I thought I could handle it." She shook her head. "To think that I was flattered by the attention - my fan, one who made me feel as if I had done something spectacular."
"You don't need a sick asshole to accomplish that. You are spectacular."
"And you are my biggest fan." She smiled wanly.
"Damn right, I am." Letting go of her hands, he cupped her face gently. "We will figure it out." He promised.
"Now, let me call him." Leaning forward, he kissed her gently before rising to go and get his phone.
"I hope I am not disturbing you." Walking back, he sat on the arm of the sofa, his hand reaching for hers. "I will put you on speaker so Lynn can contribute to the conversation."
"Hey, Lynn."
"Wyatt. How is Audra?"
"Out somewhere, one of her endless charities. What's going on?"
"Lynn has a stalker."
"I see. Harmless or a sicko?"
"A sicko. I am going to send you the letters. The ones before we started going out are pretty harmless, your basic admiration for her talent and such, but after-"
