be great.
Thanks.”
    A couple of hours later Josh and Amber had
finished all of her packing and had her car loaded. “So, you
heading out in the morning,” Josh asked.
    “I think so. The hospital said I could stop
by and get my final check after ten, so I will probably hit the
road after that,” Amber said.
    “Well, good luck, Amber with your new job. I
sure wish you were staying,” Josh said.
    Josh gave her a hug and walked to his car. He
waved to her as he drove out of the apartment complex. Amber could
feel the tears in her eyes. She decided to call Olivia since it
would be awhile before she would be able to talk with her
again.
    As the phone rang, Amber wiped her eyes with
the back of her hand.
    “Hello,” Olivia answered.
    “Hey Livvy,” Amber sniffled.
    “Hey honey. What’s wrong,” Olivia asked.
    Amber had not told Olivia what had been
happening for the past month. She let it all spill as she cried out
her problems to her best friend. “I don’t know if I can keep doing
this, Livvy. I hate moving and leaving and starting all over. And
Josh is really cute and actually interested in me, and I was making
friends and living a normal life.” Amber continued on in never
ending sentences as she hiccupped her way through her latest issues
with the maniac stalking her.
    “Amber,” Olivia barked. Amber stopped
talking. .“Honey, listen to me. You are the bravest, strongest
person I know. You will make it through this. And one day you will
find someone who will be willing to help you out of this
situation.” Olivia continued to talk to Amber in soothing tones
reassuring her and trying to get her mind off of her stalker.
    The girls talked about the adventure Amber
was having and getting to live in different places and meet new
people. When Olivia heard Amber laugh she knew Amber was going to
be alright.
    “So where is Mr. Handsome who keeps taking
you out for romantic dinners and keeping stars in your eyes,” Amber
asked.
    “He is out of town right now,” Olivia
answered. “His aunt is sick and she is elderly and lives by
herself. He took some time off work to take care of her. He said he
wasn’t sure how long he would be gone. Isn’t he wonderful to want
to help take care of his aunt that way?”
    “You definitely met a good man, Livvy. I am
so happy for you,” Amber stated.
    “I know. I never thought I could be this
happy. He really is wonderful to me. I hate that you and he have
not been able to meet. The two most important people in my life
should know each other,” Olivia said.
    “I agree. Maybe we can all get together some
day,” Amber replied.
    “Oh, Amber. I almost forgot to tell you with
all of the craziness going on. I am getting married! Maybe you can
meet him then. I want you to be there. You have to be my maid of
honor.”
    “Olivia, that’s wonderful!! I am so happy for
you,” Amber cried.
    “Please say you will come. I need you,”
Olivia begged.
    “I will be there, Livvy, but I can’t be your
maid of honor. I want to, really, but I dare not risk it. No one
needs to know I am there other than you,” Amber said.
    “I understand,” Olivia replied. “I will let
you know the date as soon as we set it so you can make plans.”
    The girls talked for another hour about
wedding dresses, colors, and flowers. When Olivia was sure Amber
was no longer thinking about her stalker, she talked about the
plans Amber had made and where she was going next. Eventually the
girls were talked out. Amber promised to keep in touch after she
got settled in and the girls hung up the phone.
    Amber sighed and took herself off to bed.
Tomorrow she would pick up her check and head to another place. She
wasn’t yet sure where she would go but she would settle
somewhere.
     
    He was seething inside. He had warned her.
Yet he saw her hug him and smile at him. She would regret that. The
nurse would not because he would be dead. But she would know. She
would know the nurse was dead because of her. He would
