Bella checked her phone. She was still thinking about the car with tinted windows, the way it had stopped right beside her, the way she could not see inside. She told herself it was nothing, just a driver who was not paying attention, just traffic, just bad luck.
She looked down at her screen, scrolling through messages. Leo had texted her asking if she was on her way home. Miss J had sent a photo of the dress references she found online. Jason had sent a blurry picture of a sunset with a caption that said, "Wish you were here."
She smiled. Then she heard loud sounds behind her.
Bang.
Bang.
The sounds were sharp, sudden, and too close. Bella's head snapped up. She looked out the rear window, and her blood ran cold.
