Sophia slid into the booth beside the kids like nothing was wrong.Like she wasn’t tracking every entrance, every movement, every shadow near the edge of the food court.The kids kept laughing, arguing over pizza toppings and who actually won the race.Normal.Sophia held onto that normalcy tightly.Patrick stayed standing for a moment, pretending to look at the menu screens overhead while he scanned the area again.Dominic sat across from Sophia, but his attention wasn’t fully on the table anymore.It was split.Half on the kids.Half on Kristi.“She’s still there,” Dominic said quietly.Sophia nodded once.“I know.”Kristi hadn’t moved from the edge of the food court.Still in the hoodie.Still watching.Not eating.Not talking.Just… fixed on them.Patrick finally sat down, lowering his voice.“This needs to end tonight.”Sophia glanced at him. “It already started ending.”“No,” Patrick replied quietly. “I mean this level of access.”Dominic leaned forward slightly.“She followed u

The laser tag arena doors opened, flooding the hallway with neon light and loud music.The kids ran inside laughing, vests blinking bright red and blue.For a moment—their joy cut through everything else.Sophia stood near the entrance, watching them disappear into the maze.Patrick stayed beside her.Dominic slightly behind.All three of them aware now.Too aware.Kristi hadn’t moved.Still near the arcade games.Still watching.And somehow—that made it worse.“She knows we see her,” Dominic said quietly.Sophia nodded once.“She wants us to.”Patrick crossed his arms lightly, eyes never leaving Kristi.“She’s testing boundaries now.”Another buzz.Sophia’s phone.This time Patrick looked frustrated before she even checked it.“Seriously?”Sophia unlocked the screen slowly.One message.“You can surround yourself with people all you want.”Another one immediately after.“He still looked at me.”Dominic’s entire expression hardened.“She’s delusional.”Sophia locked the screen again

Patrick studied Sophia carefully after she said it.Now I know exactly what this is.There was something different in her voice.Not panic.Not helplessness.Resolve.Dominic came back over, handing one of the kids more game tokens.“Alright,” he said, forcing a lighter tone. “Winner gets dessert later.”“YES!”The kids ran off again instantly.But even while smiling at them, Dominic leaned closer to Sophia.“That message changes things.”Sophia nodded once.“I know.”Patrick looked around the arcade again, eyes sharper now.“We should probably document where we are right now too,” he said quietly. “Time. Location. Witnesses.”Sophia pulled her phone back out immediately.Not emotional.Methodical.Fun ZoneFood court confrontationRepeated visual surveillanceDirect message during encounterSecond threatening statement received onsiteShe saved it.Locked the phone again.The sounds of the arcade suddenly felt louder.The flashing lights brighter.Not comforting anymore.Just oversti

Sophia leaned forward slightly from the back seat.“Pull over for a second,” she told the driver quietly.The driver glanced in the mirror. “You sure?”Sophia nodded.“I need to see this.”The black SUV eased into a darker section of the neighboring parking lot, far enough away to stay unnoticed but close enough to see the front entrance of the fun zone clearly.The kids were distracted in the back, comparing prizes and laughing over the races.Good.They weren’t paying attention.Sophia lowered slightly in her seat, eyes fixed on the entrance across the lot.Right on time—Patrick and Dominic walked out the front doors.Visible.Relaxed.Playing the part perfectly.Dominic unlocked the SUV they originally arrived in while Patrick kept talking casually beside him.From a distance—it looked normal.Like the whole family was leaving together.Then Sophia saw movement.Across the lot.Near the edge of the arcade sign.Kristi.Still watching.Still lurking.Sophia’s eyes narrowed.Kristi

The house was quiet when they walked in.Too quiet after the noise and lights of the arcade.The kids shuffled inside sleepily, still carrying prizes and half-finished snacks while Patrick locked the door behind them.Sophia didn’t stop moving.Didn’t sit down.Didn’t decompress.She turned immediately toward the hallway.“Alright guys,” she said softly but firmly, “go start packing a few things.”The kids blinked at her.“Packing?”“For where?”Sophia forced a smile.“You’re going to stay with Grandma and Grandpa for a little bit.”That got Dominic’s attention instantly.“What?” he said sharply.Sophia kept moving toward the kitchen, grabbing bags, already mentally organizing everything.“Just clothes. Favorite stuff. A few days minimum.”Dominic followed her, stunned.“Sophia—hold on.”She turned toward him finally.And the look in her eyes stopped him cold.Focused.Exhausted.Done compromising.“She followed our children today,” Sophia said quietly.“She watched them.”Dominic ran
