Chapter 44

• I took Toronto out, shivering as it flurried. I grumbled to myself that the forecast had not fucking mentioned flurries. I peered up at the sky, studying its beautiful and unique shade of purple. A few people brushed past me but I ignored them. Toronto sat next to me, content to just have me near. I reached down to give him a little pet.
• That’s when I felt that unpleasant sensation someone was watching me. My head whipped around but I didn’t spot anyone. I told myself I was being crazy, that no one was looking at me. I throughly investigated the block with my eyes and saw no one staring. That didn’t account for the windows of the apartments all around us. I shuddered and walked us back home, pausing now and then to make sure no one was following.
• The blocks closer to my apartment were more crowded with people which should’ve been comforting, but instead it made me even more uneasy. It could be anyone, anywhere.
