CHAPTER TEN
THE NIGHT WAS long and restless for Eve without Hunter there. In addition, she kept thinking back to her dream of Sara. Many times through the night she reached for Hunter, only to find his side of the bed empty. Then she would remember that he wasn’t there with her.
It seemed impossible to her how quickly she had grown used to him being there. Both her heart and her body craved him. Eve was rarely afraid of anything, but she found that she was afraid now. Her fear came from the thought of losing Hunter. Getting over him was the hardest thing she had ever done. Of course, as it turned out, she hadn’t really gotten over him at all. She had just pushed him as far into the back of her mind and heart as she could while simply carving out a life for herself.
She had just thought she was happy. Nothing could have prepared her for what she felt now. With Hunter, Eve had found everything her life had been missing. This was what she wanted. He was what she wanted! Why had she snapped at him like that? She hadn’t needed to do that.
Well, tomorrow she was going to prove to Hunter Vale that he was the most important person in her life. He was going to see just how much she loved him.
Around 2AM, she got up and rummaged around until she found her sleeping pills. Breaking one in half, she washed it down with water and returned to bed. Maybe a half of the pill would help her relax enough to sleep. She needed to be alert in the morning and taking a whole one might just make her sleep a full eight hours before being adequately awake.
As it turned out, the half a pill worked quite well, allowing her to relax just enough to fall into a restful sleep.
Eve! Please hear me! Did you tell the police about the Secret Admirer? There’s going to be another murder soon!
Trying to make her eyes open, Eve was able to make out a shape by her bed.
Sara! Okay, I’m listening, but you’ve got to give me some names or something to go on.
Look to your past, Eve! This is about you and you’ll be the last victim.
It’s the Secret Admirer! You must find the Secret Admirer!
The next victim has been chosen and she’s already received her first gift!
You’ve got time to save her, Eve, but you must work quickly! Her name is…
There was a shrill noise coming from downstairs. Eve struggled to remain asleep because Sara had been about to give her the name of the next victim. Dammit! Why did this keep happening?
Suddenly, she realized that it was daylight outside and that the shrill noise was her doorbell ringing.
Hunter!
Leaping out of her bed, she flew down the stairs and didn’t even bother to look through the peephole this time. Unlocking the door, she quickly jerked it open to find Hunter standing on the other side. They stared at each other for a few seconds.
Eve sighed and smiled at him, noting that,
