While running some errands at the store, I almost missed my phone buzzing in my pocket. I quickly fished it out

and my eyes bugged when I saw Timothy’s name pop up on the screen.

I was still recovering from out last conversation, and it almost annoyed me how natural he was acting about it all.

“Hello?” I answered.

His voice was chipper as he spoke. “Evie, I’ve found someone willing to represent you in your case. She’s a seasoned lawyer with an excellent track record, and I think she’s the perfect fit for your situation.”

Relief washed over me, and I felt a spark of hope. “That’s incredible news, Timothy, When can I meet her?”

“We’re actually at her office right now,” Timothy replied. “Can you make it here in about half an hour?”

He was there?!?

I drew in a deep breath, wondering how many times he would steal my breath away with his actions. I’d end up suffocating completely and dying before anything happened between us.

“Yes, of course,” I said, forcing my voice into a cool, flat tone. “I’m on my way.”

With a quick goodbye, I hurriedly made my way to the location Timothy had provided. It was a very pristine firm on the edge of town, Robertson and Co. As I arrived, my heart raced with anticipation.

I couldn’t help but wonder if this mysterious lawyer would be the answer to my troubles. The last time I’d had assistance, I was iced out of my own case. And I know Timothy meant well, but it seemed all too convenient that he wanted to be there for the meeting after are last conversation.

Timothy was waiting for me at the office entrance, and he greeted me with a warm smile. “Evie, I’m so glad your could make it.”
