HARPER
Walking Buffalo’s snowplowed sidewalks in January could be fun or
miserable, depending upon your outlook. If you weren’t bundled to the chin
like I was, you could freeze your ass straight off. On the other hand
however, the four-foot walls of snow looming on either side of me made it
easy to imagine I was walking the trenches of the ice-planet Hoth.
And I loved Hoth.
Snap.
Something cracked behind me again. A twig, a stick, maybe a rock.
Somebody had stepped on something for sure, though, which brought me to
the stark realization that I wasn’t imagining things.
I was definitely being followed.
Shit.
At this hour and temperature, there were very few people around.
Most of the bars were almost closed. The driving ban wouldn’t be lifted
until tomorrow, but even those who defied it weren’t leaving the warmth of
their cars to walk sidewalks by any means.
Except for the asshole behind me, closing the distance since the
block we crossed.
Silently I wished for my date again, as funny as it seemed. I’d left
that debacle about six blocks back, when the guy wouldn’t take the hint that
our evening was over. Then again I should’ve known better than to swipe
right on someone who “taught himself to be a black belt.” But I’d been on
an epic dry spell, cooped up in my house writing code for months. I was
desperate for some fun, some human interaction, and yes, hopefully even
some sex.
Instead, my date turned out to be a professional focus group
participant and Feng Shui consultant; both of which turned out to be even
less interesting than they originally sounded. But right now, with the crunch
of footprints against the frozen snow behind me growing ever louder? The
karate master part sounded awfully handy.
I picked up the pace, but so did my possible pursuer. Before they got
too close, I planted one foot and whirled.
“WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME AND WHAT DO YOU WA
—”
A nearby streetlight illuminated the man’s face. Relief flooded over
me in a wave.
“Holy fuck!” I breathed, nearly doubling over. I clutched at my
chest. “You scared the hell out of me!”
“Sorry. Didn’t mean to.”
My ex-date looked nervous and only slightly apologetic. He had his
hands up, and they were empty.
“I… I just—”
“Did I forget something back there?” I asked, patting my coat down
for my phone and keys.
“No. No, you didn’t.”
My head tilted curiously. “But our date’s over,” I said firmly. “So
why are you following me?”
Very quickly, I sized him up. He was average height, average build,
even average looks. But the man that had seemed so cool and confident in
his profile pics now looked lost and conflicted, and downright creepy.
Awkwardly, he put his hands down.
“I… just wanted to make sure you got home alright.”
My eyes narrowed skeptically. “You sure you weren’t just trying to
figure out where I live?”
He didn’t have an immediate answer. His expression however, told
me everything I needed to know.
“Look, Lenny—”
