mom will be here,” I reminded him with a small smile.
    “Are you sure?” he asked, studying my face.
    “Yes, I’m sure,” I nodded. And I really meant it. A relaxing spa day sounded like just the thing I needed. Besides, I wasn’t the only one who had been through hell in the past couple days—Spencer had as well and it would have been selfish of me to keep him from doing something that would bring him such joy.
    “Okay, then,” he whispered and he kissed me on the lips, long and sweet and then he finally pulled away. “I’ll make a call to the spa and have them schedule you two ladies in right away, okay? They’ll call to verify before they come over. And everything will be on my tab so don’t hold back,” he said with a beaming smile.
    My heart melted at his generosity and I was so proud he was mine.
    “Absolutely not,” my dad said, holding up a hand. “You’ve already been way too generous, Spencer.”
    “Mike, it really is my pleasure. Nothing brings me greater joy. Please allow me to do this,” he replied cordially.
    My dad sighed and said, “Fine. But it’s really not necessary.”
    “That’s the spirit!” Spencer clapped his hands and laughed. “Alright, ladies,” he said turning to us. “We’ll get out of your hair, now.”
    My mom stood with her mouth hanging open and then finally pulled herself together enough to say, “Thank you, Spencer. Your kindness is so appreciated.”
    As my dad and Spencer walked toward the entryway, he turned one last time and said to my mom, “You take care of my girl for me, okay?”
    She nodded and smiled at him, “You know I will.”
    Then he turned to me with a wink and said, “I’ll see you soon.”
    As I watched him leave, I couldn’t help but think to myself, It won’t be soon enough.

Emily
     
     
     
    Several hours later I awoke abruptly to the sound of footsteps on the marble floor. My heart started racing at the thought of who or what it might be and I sat up in anticipation, trying to remember where, exactly, I was.
    Everywhere I looked around me there was darkness and I started to panic. I felt like I was in a dream that I couldn’t wake up from and that at any moment Calvin was going to come back and kill me. I tried to piece together clues in my dazed state, but it was no use. I couldn’t see anything and the footsteps were getting closer and closer to me.
    Suddenly a blinding light came on above me and I screamed, causing my mom to jump awake as well.
    It didn’t make sense to me that she was here.
    Spencer came rushing over to me, worry flashing across his face. “Emily, sweetheart. Are you okay?” He touched my hair and placed a hand on my shoulder.
    I caught my breath and stared at him wildly, trying to remember what had happened.
    My dad rushed to my side as well and said in a soothing voice, “It’s okay, Em. You’re gonna be okay. You’re safe now. It’s just us.”
    After a few seconds, I remembered everything that had happened. Calvin could no longer hurt me and he was gone for good. I breathed deeply, nodding. “Yes, I’m okay. I just…I got confused. That’s all,” I said, feeling overwhelmed with all of the attention. “I’m sorry,” I said, a tear slipping down my cheek.
    “No, shh,” Spencer said softly, wiping the tear away with his thumb. “There’s nothing to be sorry for, Emily. It’s okay.”
    I nodded and wiped my eyes. I felt so stupid with all of them hovering around me, analyzing my every action.
    I thought back to earlier in the day when my mom and I had been getting our massages and spa treatments. She had asked me if I was okay, in light of recent events and I had insisted that I was, but now I wasn’t so sure. Was I? I didn’t feel like this was “sane person” behavior and the looks on their faces only confirmed that.
    “I’m fine,” I said loudly, pushing myself up off the couch. “I’m just tired. That’s all. I’m going to bed.”
    They all watched me walk away
