I dropped the paper like it had burned me, my heart hammering in my chest. Who would do this? Who would leave something so vicious on my car?

My eyes darted around the parking garage, scanning the shadows between parked cars. Was someone watching me right now? Enjoying my reaction to their sick little message?

Instead, I called Emilia’s number, scanning the shadows between parked cars.

“Hey, Liv! Already missing me?” Emilia answered cheerfully.

“Em, I need you to come to the garage right now,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “Someone left a note on my car.”

“No, just get here fast. I don’t want to be alone out here.”
