The third picture makes my cheeks heat indecently.
This is the one he sent me after sneaking in.
It really wasn’t that long ago. He would have had to get it developed almost immediately after taking it. And it’s even in a frame?
My stomach flips on itself.
Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t have been ready for someone this obsessed with me back then.
I’m not even sure I’m ready for it now. But shying away from Cormac because I don’t think I’m worthy of his…devotionwould only hurt both of us.
The fourth photo, I can’t quite remember the night of.
That’sdefinitelyme dancing on the bar, but when did he take that? I haven’t been to Mingle without him since we met, and I absolutely haven’t danced on a table in years.
How would Cormac have a picture of me from at least three years ago?
The flipping in my stomach churns instantly into nausea.
Don’t freak out.
It’s his bar.
And Skyler keeps tabs on everything. It wouldn’t be hard for them to get stills off their surveillance cams.
Don’t freak out.
This is not a security camera.
Someone took this from the ground, and I’m the only thing in focus.
Don’t freak out.
…
I’m freaking out.
This has to be what they were talking about.
My devotion to you.
Unconventional methods.
There hasn’t been anyone but you since we met.
He hasn’t just been stalking me since getting out of the hospital. He’s been following me since the night these pictures of us were taken.
And Skyler not only knew, but hehelped.
I have to get out of here.

A Fucking Ghost
CORMAC
Scaling a decorative trellis full of roses isn’t exactly what I had hoped to be doing tonight.
