Darling Darlene

PROLOGUE

My dearest, Darlene.

You’re looking more beautiful and fragile as the days pass.

Are you eating well? Did you receive the food I left at your desk?

Don’t worry, darling. I didn’t put poison in it.

So, how was your day?

Pfft…who am I kidding? Of course, I know how it went!

I know everything about you. Everything.

I know where you always go, every step you take. I am with you.

I know about your favorite macchiato drink, as well as all your favorite desserts.

I know every person who you have interacted with.

Did you miss me? I know I haven’t written to you in a week.

But believe me, I’m always watching. Always.

So you should behave, my darling.

I’ve been quiet these past few days. My apologies for that.

But I never forgot about you, darling. I’ve always thought of you.

I think of you from morning till dawn, and

When the night darkens, I come out of the shadows.

I’ll do what I can to catch a glimpse of you.

To touch you for at least a mere second.

Can it just be me, Darlene?

Can I be your only one?

Choose me..

Love me..

But no matter how many flimsy boys you encounter

Only I can have you. There are no other options, Darlene. Only me.

YOU. ARE. MINE.
