At first, Danielle thought she was imagining the feeling that something was there, following her from the library. But it didn't stop.

"A stalker?" she demanded as she stormed up to him. "You knew and didn't say anything?"
Theo turned around slowly, and looked into her eyes. "I was handling it."
"Handling it?" Danielle repeated louder. "What does that even mean, Theo? Someone's following me, and you're handling it?"
