Watching Emily
Mark began to pay more attention to Emily, noticing small changes in their daily routines. He seemed more distracted and less emotional, something he had previously dismissed as a figment of his imagination. Emily drank coffee more calmly, spent more time on phone calls and appeared restless. He didn’t find the same woman he thought he knew. But were these changes real or was it just his new perspective playing tricks on his mind?
Accompanying her discreetly
Interested, he observed her discreetly during her chores, but didn’t notice anything unusual at first. She did her shopping, went to the post office and even paid a visit to a friend’s house. Everything seemed to be in order. Mark stayed in the shadows, making sure he was never too close, but not so far away that he lost sight of her. He was experiencing a combination of guilt and resolve, praying to find out something that would clarify his uncertainties.
