#Chapter 57: Unwanted Attention
The city’s nocturnal pulse is like a second heartbeat, a comforting undercurrent as I make my way
toward the subway.
Tonight was something else. A blend of euphoria, sprinkled with an indescribable tension—thanks to
Karl’s abrupt departure.
I’m not sure why he left, or really even when he left. All I know is that one moment he was there, and
the next he was gone. And he didn’t come back.
Did someone say something? Did something happen? Was it the picture fiasco?
My mind wanders back to Chloe and the palpable tension between the two of them. I know that Chloe
dislikes him, and for good reason, but I think he’s been trying to change. I just wish that she could see
that.
“Go d, what am I thinking?” I whisper to myself, shaking my head. Standing up for Karl? For the man
who divorced me, who forced me to dress modestly, who convinced me to dye my hair for his own
pleasure? I should be siding with Chloe, not him.
And yet, I still can’t help but feel a slight twinge of regret as I think about the empty space where he
once stood tonight, calmly sipping his drink.
I board the train, reveling in the almost-empty car. After the whirlwind of the night, I really needed some
quiet time like this. For some reason, the quiet subway at night always feels soothing to me, when it
would make most people uncomfortable.
I sit by the window, staring into the dark tunnel as the train lurches forward.
That’s when he sits next to me. A man in a crisp business suit, reeking of arrogance, and, as I soon
realize, alcohol.
“Hey there, beautiful,” he begins, his voice oozing an unsettling mixture of charm and condescension.
Ignoring him, I focus on the passing darkness outside the window. It’s late, and the last thing I want is
an unwanted interaction. Maybe, if I just pretend that he’s not here, he’ll get the hint and move on. It’s
worked before. Usually.
“So, what’s a pretty thing like you doing all alone at this hour?” he continues, undeterred by my lack of
response.
