The phone vibrated again, the insistent buzz grating on Leo's nerves. He ignored it, but the intrusive buzzing wouldn't cease. He’d already blocked the number, but that hadn’t solved anything. He felt his hands begin to shake. He had to know. Who was she?

He found the profile online, with a sinking feeling. Pretty, kind-looking. With a picture of him. He felt his face heat, a wave of disgust washing over him. The phone vibrated again. He picked it up.

He heard a voice: “He said he was going to break up with you.”

“What?” Leo was confused. Then, he saw her. Across the street. She was pointing at him.
