“Of course I believe you, Nina.”

Relief flooded through me at Enzo’s words. “Thank you,” I whispered, looking down at the table.

Enzo wasted no time in getting to work. He opened his laptop and started scouring all of the Twitter threads that contained pictures of me, scanning through them until he had a list compiled of some of his biggest — and most angry — fans.

I nodded. “I went this morning.” I replied. “The stalker somehow erased all of the evidence. They even stole the letter out of my bag. So, naturally, the police didn’t believe me.”
