[Music] at around 5:30 p. m. on Sunday Beverly entered through the front door tossed her purse and keys onto the nightstand and made her way down the hallway to the master bedroom I'm unsure if she noticed me sitting in the office but it didn't really matter over the past few years I've practically become invisible to her approaching her I retrieved her set of keys took my spare keys from her and then rubbing through her purse I removed her cell phone and wallet extracting all the cash and credit cards from my wallet and stashing the loot in my pocket just to be safe I also grabbed her driver's license before returning to my spot in the office 15 minutes later Bev emerged from the hall looking well-dressed and spotted me as she slung her purse over her shoulder and grabbed her keys she remarked I'm meeting some girls from work don't wait up no you're not going out with girls from work I protested Jack you should know by now you don't control me I'll do as I please she retorted I didn't say you couldn't hang out with girls from work I said you're not going to you're going to see your boyfriend so don't lie to me I stated Beverly stood silently for a moment before boldly entering the office and confronting me all right jack you know I'd prefer to handle this differently but letun end it here you have two options either Salvage what's left of this marriage by granting me some Freedom or face divorce and be cut out of my life what's it going to be she challenged I'll take door number three I replied with a smirk don't be childish there's no door number three either accept that I have a lover now a real man or brace yourself for the consequences Beverly warned I stood up walked over to Bev and pushed her against the wall removing the engagement ring and wedding rings from her left hand with my face close to hers and a fierce glare in my eyes I whispered angrily here's your door number three it's my front door when you leave through it it'll be the last time you walk out with anything and never return you won't get another Penny of my money you'll lose your husband your daughter your house your money your car and your job eventually you're living in a fantasy Jack she muttered nervously my lawyer will destroy you tomorrow I'll send the divorce papers to your workplace if you damage me you'll suffer more than I will I pulled her away from the wall and dragged her toward the front door her heels causing her to stumble as she screamed incoherently Bev struggled to maintain her balance her composure shattered throughout our marriage I had never laid a hand on her and she didn't know how to react as she began to regain her senses in the front yard I shut the door and locked it the lock already replaced earlier in the day earlier as Bev left I made the first of two calls I dialed my 19-year-old daughter's number at College hey it's Dad our situation with your mom has hit a crucial Point looks like she'll be moving in with her boyfriend and I need to talk to you about it just so you know I've got our last conversation in tons of past arguments recorded you can listen to them so you know the truth when she tries to twist things and blame me which she probably will truth is your mom's been cheating not sure how many times but she's chosen to leave us for this guy I'll explain more soon but her boyfriend seems pretty sketchy so be cautious in your relationship with her I approached Patty asking her to return home for the weekend my intention was to have a conversation and offer her the chance to listen to some tapes if she desired thankfully Patty agreed to come home on Friday after sorting that out I reached out to Martha our neighbor down the block Martha it's Jack I said over the phone if the offer still good I'd like to take you up on it could you come over in about an hour I kept my explanation brief I felt it was necessary to confide in Martha Bev and I had met young married and soon had Patty things seemed good at the start but Bev's demeanor changed rapidly she became grumpy manipulative and controlling I tried my best to keep the peace and make her happy but it only seemed to make things worse looking back I realized I contributed to my own suffering by constantly trying to please her now in our 40s our lives were a mess it wasn't long before I discovered Bev's affair with a man named Sylvester known as Sly who had a violent past the realization that our marriage was beyond repair brought me a sense of relief and I began planning my next steps I've heard stories where the husband takes half the money I continued but not me I took every penny I could find including all the cash in the house I changed the locks and planned to provoke Bev as much as possible I knew her well enough to anticipate her reactions she's dangerous in many ways but this time she'd be a danger to herself too in fact my planning had started long before before I discovered Bev's Affair for years I had been discreetly recording our arguments Bev thought the device I always carried with me was a simple mp3 player but in reality I was building a library of her outbursts to document her behavior I knew no one would believe my stories unless I had proof as she only mistreated me behind closed doors I wanted to be able to share my experiences with everyone including Patty to reveal Bev's true nature on the Monday following our Sunday argument I hosted a gathering in the company breakroom a prominent Banner declared Happy Divorce overhead with cake and ice cream at the ready I eagerly anticipated the arrival of the process server fortunately it was a pleasantly plump girl handling the task numerous photos were snapped as my co-workers and I celebrated the receipt of our divorce papers I even took a picture while accepting the papers planting a kiss on the server girl's cheek as she sported a festive hat in another snapshot shot I playfully fed her cake both of us grinning after the festivities I emailed the photos to Bev along with others from the party among them were shots of myself and Martha my roommate lounging in bed with sheets drawn up smiling broadly I hoped Bev would notice her wedding rings adorning Martha's left hand resting on my chest an hour later I received an angry call you scoundrel my lawyer will tear you apart after seeing the photos what a foolish move hardly Bev there's nothing inappropriate in these images no nudity just pranks between neighbors just light-hearted pictures I countered wek address this later Jack I'll swing by the house this evening to retrieve some belongings it might be best if you're not there if I'm absent you won't gain entry all locks have been changed if you need anything be there well before 6:45 Martha and I have plans at 7:00 and I'd rather not be late last night marked the most SA satisfying closeness I've experienced and tonight promises to be even better with that I ended the call and ignored her subsequent five attempts while I haven't answered all her calls since I have listened to every message unlike other men in similar situations there was a good chance Bev might slip up or accidentally reveal a secret in her angry messages and indeed she did divulge herself several times in the following weeks at 4:30 that day I drove to Bev's workplace parking lot aiming to ared before the evening Rush confirming the absence of security cameras what I had to do would be swift pulling up beside be's car I circled around her using wire cutters to sever the valve stems on all her tires oh she'd certainly be enraged and there'd be no fixing them in time to make it home by 6:45 however it was around 6:35 when she appeared evidently she'd been out with someone desperate to return home having seen receipts for clothing she hadn't brought home I knew she must have had plenty stashed at her lovers she must have wanted something else slipping out the back door I hurried to Martha's house leaving Bev pounding on the front door and shouting upon my return that evening I found my front window shattered blood splattered around it after reviewing the port security footage I called the police the video depicted beb smashing the window with a tire iron her threats to harm me echoing clear unfortunately for her the lock i' installed required a key from both sides as she recoiled she sliced her forearm deeply inciting more screams and threats I promptly reported the incident and an officer guided me through filing a restraining order the next morning beb was served with papers forbidding her from coming within 500 ft of me or our home to say she was livid would be an understatement what in the world are you doing idiot kicked off her next call filled with Fury and renewed threats I meticulously recorded the entire conversation a few hours later after she had calmed down a bit she called again this time she mentioned sending her friend Lindsay to retrieve some of her belongings that evening what could she be so desperate to retrieve from the house I wondered suspicions Brewing I agreed to meet Lindsay at 5:30 p.
m. on Tuesday to prepare I left work a bit early to set up a video camera in my bedroom with a monitor discreetly installed in my office Lindsay arrived promptly and I greeted her warmly while she packed some clothes into two black plastic trash bags I sat on the bed observing Lindsay looked at me nervously and then requested water from the kitchen I smiled and left upon glancing at the monitor I noticed Lindsay pulling a shoe box from her closet and placing it into a bag nearby she then resumed selecting clothes upon her return with water I observed her continuing to pack she declared that it should suffice and requested me to take one bag while she took the other noting that the one she held seemed heavier I offered to to assist Lindsay but she declined insisting she was fine and asking me to grab another bag as she began to fidget and move towards the door with her package I questioned if there was anything in the package I should be aware of I grasped her wrist and opened the package to which she responded anxiously explaining that it contained clothes and items that Bev needed realizing her lie I confronted Lindsay about the odor emanating from the box and upon opening it I found stacks of worn 50 $ and $100 bills accusing her of attempting to steal from me I Rose to my feet and escorted her towards the exit and down the hallway Lindsay claimed that the money belonged to Bev and that she was merely sent to collect it denying any intention of theft however I pointed out that she came to my house supposedly for clothes but was leaving with a box of money which in my view constituted theft threatening to call the police I insisted that she prepared to be arrested for robbery in response Lindsay pleaded with me not to involve the authorities citing her children and husband I seated her on the couch and expressed my disappointment stating that she would never be welcome in my house again despite her protests and tears I made it clear that if she wished to make aend for her wrongdoing she had only one chance you'll leave this house and inform Bev that I caught you stealing then you'll report everything you hear or see to me especially regarding our divorce or her relationship with Sly you divulge anything about our Arrangement Bev made a terrible mistake getting involved with this loser and you'll ultimately help her leave him I informed Lindsay that if she cooperated with me I had the entire incident on video and I could call the police and file a report against her at any time reluctantly Lindsay agreed to act as my informant as soon as she departed I took the box of money and walked to Martha's House at the End of the block she agreed to conceal it for me until I could safely stash it somewhere beyond Bev's reach I knew the likely source of the money Bev's Aunt Mabel known for her stinginess passed away a few months ago leaving Bev as her sole Heir while I knew Aunt Mabel had left Bev a small rural Cottage there was never any mention of money it seemed that when Bev inspected the cabin after the will reading she stumbled upon her aunts hidden cash when my wife Bev called enraged and screaming I recorded the conversation cautiously this money is mine Jack I want my damn money she yelled Bev I'm not sure what you're talking about I caught Lindsay trying to P for money from my nightstand this is mine you know exactly what I'm referring to the money in the shoe box is mine it's from Aunt Mabel I retorted maybe Lindsay found some money in a shoe box but if so she likely took it and kept it for herself I don't have it and if you had money here unknown to me you didn't reported on your taxes last year I've reviewed our tax returns you're welcome to involve the police and then we'll inform the IRS about this money letting them handle your tax evasion she snapped before hanging up I felt a need for retaliation I'd pushed Bev's buttons too hard for her to Simply disappear restricted by a restraining order from leaving her house I anticipated she might retaliate against me through my car considering I'd previously vandalized hers hence I had a dashboard mounted camera installed but it wasn't sufficient if she chose that route I wanted clear footage thus when I parked in front of the garage on Wednesday morning I set up an exterior camera discreetly positioned it streamed video to my desk accessible an hour before lunch I watched on my laptop as Bev parked behind my car got out and began smashing it with a hammer shattering windows and denting panels the sight of her breaking the windshield and yelling sent a shiver down my spine I dialed emergency and a police car awaited her as she left the driveway presenting the video evidence of my damaged Toyota the authorities arrested Bev recognizing her actions as a criminal offense the resisting arrest charge was an added bonus as she was led away her pleading eyes met my silent stare Bev's divorce lawyer phoned me Wednesday notifying me of a court hearing regarding access to the money withdrawn from our joint accounts set for Thursday at 10:00 a. m.
I arrived at 9:50 wondering if Bev had posted bail she entered with her lawyer wearing a smug expression addressing the judge her lawyer asserted your honor my client was denied access to the shared bank accounts after she filed for divorce her husband illicitly emptied them we requesting a 50 50 split MrReynolds would you like to address the court yes your honor my wife who has been unfaithful has been withdrawing her own funds from our joint accounts for months the money I withdrew was fair compensation since I cover rent and bills she abandoned our marriage to be with her Affair partner Bev Rose objecting that's untrue he drained our savings and checking accounts leaving me with nothing her lawyer intervened guiding her back to her seat for a brief conference while I presented documents to the judge your honor these bank statements cover last year you'll see highlighted amounts including Bev's salary up until a few months ago along with periodic bonuses then about 6 months ago her deposit ceased including B I have a recorded conversation with her HR confirming her direct deposit switch to her personal account the total amount diverted from our joint account is significant it's evident my Unfaithful wife possesses substantial wealth obtained from our marriage the judge scrutinized the bank statements and then addressed Beverly do you have any response Miss Reynolds her lawyer Rose cautiously stating your honor even if my client has personal funds MrReynolds is still obligated to provide her with her fair share well counselor I don't appreciate deceit Miss Reynolds claimed she was destitute yet she entered with you it's clear she was financially supported from marital assets deceiving her husband and the court since MrReynolds covers expenses from his own funds there's no reason to alter the financial Arrangements property division will be addressed in the final divorce decree Case Closed as I left Bev confronted me in the hallway I began noting her threats Bev you're violating the restraining order I'll contact the police if you don't leave by the way how was jail ready for more time there you're facing criminal charges though she seemed ready to retaliate I continued toward the exit she stood fists clenched face flushed later that evening I went to a different bar where I had previously encountered an intriguing man named Zeke fortunately he was there I greeted him and asked if he remembered me to which he replied that my name wasn't important Zeke then mentioned that he still had the beat up car expressing his disdain for the car he explained that his wife had taken the good one when she left with her New Lover he complained about the broken air conditioning and his inability to afford a replacement I inquired about his car insurance and suggested that if he followed my advice I might be able to help him get something better Zeke responded by saying he was listening let's imagine you're driving down 38th Street and suddenly a gray cat dashes out in front of you naturally you hit the brakes and there's a chance the lady behind you might rear end your lousy car at speeds over 15 mph your car could end up totaled but as long as you're firmly against the headrest with your seat belt on you should be okay insurance will take care of the damages plus you could at least afford a car with air conditioning but what if the lady who hits me gets injured I can't do that to her well I can assure you she'll be an Unfaithful wife and there won't be anyone else in her car if you follow my instructions what do you think about that oh man that would be great I can't stand cheaters and I definitely need to get rid of this car park at the corner of 38th and Ling by 5:00 p. m. tomorrow keep an eye out for a blue Miata leaving the parking lot and heading your way pull out in front of it she doesn't like passing other cars so drive a block or so until she's tailing you then you'll spot a cat darting across the road get ready and hit the brakes hard just stay in the car afterward dial emergency and mention a possible neck injury and by the way we've never met I won't be back in this bar and we don't know each other dude I'm colder than the AC in your new car on Friday I left work early to meet my daughter at home as planned she finished her classes and returned on Sunday evening we discussed the divorce situation and I played her a recording of my conversation with her mother about door number three Patty was stunned by her mother's ruthless tone and demands then I shared recordings from the past 2 years revealing a side of Bev she'd never known what do you know about the guy mom's with Dad I know he's trouble and I want you to steer clear of him if you must meet your mom make sure it's in a public place I don't know what he's capable of to get to me in any case always have something to protect yourself if there's even a hint he might be around Patty I knew your mom and I had our issues but I never realized the extent of it what went wrong between us this was a question I had anticipated so I proceeded to offer a condensed version of my viewpoint to Patty I explained to her that her mother and I had fundamentally different perspectives on marriage after reflecting on the matter I conveyed to Patty that I had identified four main ways power could be distributed in a relationship there are instances when neither party takes the lead resulting in a situation where everything drifts aimlessly like a ship without a Rudder alternative atively both Partners may assume responsibility leading to constant battles over dominance or a division of control over different aspects of the relationship some couples might even share responsibility equally which was my expectation going into our relationship however things didn't pan out as expected another scenario arises when the man assumes full control while such an arrangement May function under specific circumstances modern perceptions often view such patern istic relationships as oppressive to women yet if a man wholeheartedly devotes himself to his wife it can resemble a fairy tale romance offering a fulfilling life to a wife with the right temperament free from the burden of difficult decisions alternatively it could mirror your maternal grandparents Dynamic where your grandmother was passive and your grandfather was dominant and at times harsh your mother likely grew up witnessing this and expected a similar power dynamic in our relationship ship consequently when I attempted to share equal footing with her she perceived it as a sign of weakness on my part leading to increasing disrespect despite my efforts to please her this leads me to the final scenario a relationship where the wife dominates it seems your mom opted to take charge when I failed to meet her standards of a good person she turned cruel she dictated which projects should be completed and insisted they meet her standards countless times she initiated family projects only to micromanage every detail leaving many unfinished because I couldn't tolerate feeling emasculated in my own home she even instructed me on how to hold tools while working making it unbearable in such cases when the wife dominates it goes against human nature I don't comprehend how this Dynamic can function while a husband May remain loving and affectionate the wife loses respect for him as she exerts control I believe this Dynamic has manifested in our relationship as I began to resist Beverly perceived it as a lack of responsibility on my part by then she already viewed me as weak when I refused to be bossed around she saw me as a rebellious child I doubt I'll ever regain her respect this divorce may be my final opportunity to earn it back I explained to Patty that she would understand my actions when she realized how difficult it was to assert my intolerance for her mother's lifestyle I advised her that when making significant decisions in her future relationships such as starting a family or choosing careers and homes it was crucial for mutual respect to Prevail I emphasized the importance of both Patty and her partner understanding what to expect to avoid the unhappy situation Beverly and I found ourselves in in response Patty assured me that she would keep my advice in mind and promised to consider it shortly after the phone rang MrReynolds this is Memorial Hospital your wife was in a car accident she's stable and not severely injured but she'll be with us at least for the night Patty and I drove to the hospital and I allowed her to enter the room first she didn't stay long and afterward I requested to speak with Bev alone when she emerged wearing a gloomy expression I suspected Patty had spoken harshly to her God you look terrible Bev I remarked with a slight grin what a dreadful week huh first you lose your marriage husband and home then you get served with a restraining order and arrested for a felony next you lose some of your expected money and now your car is total and you're here in the hospital with a broken wrist and a bruised face from the airbag seems like this divorce is turning out much better for me freak you she retorted oh Bev where's your old Sly charm has he come to visit yet don't worry he's probably busy with one of his other two women right now her complexion turned pale you probably didn't know about the others when you started all this did you you well looks like you know now I wonder how long it will be before he wants you to serve one of them I never thought of you as a people pleaser but that might be a good skill to learn considering how much you'll need it in prison I'm not going to jail my lawyer will get these false charges dropped really you crash my car and threaten my health and you think you'll get off easy because when I spoke to the DA he made it clear he's gunning for you he's got photographic evidence and an upcoming election to win now he's aiming to look like a hero cracking down on crime I believe he'll push for the maximum penalty she simply sat there staring at me by the way did you decide which car insurance company to contact I asked car insurance what are you talking about we still have the same old wait so you didn't bother getting insurance this week when you filed for divorce I removed your car from my insurance you must have known about this considering you insisted on having only your name on your Miata if you didn't get insurance this week you're in serious trouble you'll face fines Towing costs and 3 years of payments that Miata may end up in a junkyard while you're still paying for it and since you won't have a job after your felony conviction you may not need another car plus you'll likely have to cover the medical bills for the guy you hit and his insurance company will demand payment for the damages damn it but at least you have your own medical insurance right I'm on yours no no I removed you from my health insurance on Monday didn't you take care of that too baby you're in big trouble the ambulance ride ER visit x-rays doctor's fees cast for your arm Hospital stay and follow up care will cost thousands and thousands of dollars hey speaking of medicine the other day I was reminiscing about when you fell ill a couple of years back remember I took a week off to care for you I held your head while you were vomiting and cleaned up everything afterward when you couldn't make it to the bathroom in time I called the doctor and went to the pharmacy to get you medicine then a week later when you felt better you started scolding me again insulting me and calling me names I wonder how well old Sly will take care of you next time you're sick well it's time for me to call Sly now that you think he's done with his other woman I wish you a good life as I left Beverly sat there crying but I didn't care anymore more everything went on as usual for some time I kept in touch with Lindsay occasionally she started worrying about s's influence over Bev and gradually Lindsay distanced herself from her then one evening as I returned home and headed to my front door I was attacked on the lawn I was cautious about possible attacks but I didn't see this one coming a guy wearing a ski mask knocked the wind out of me twisted my arm behind my back and demanded I give him the box of money and tell the da to drop the charges I felt helpless but still had the car alarm remote in my hand I pressed the panic button setting off the alarm Sly got Furious hit me again and then ran off quickly as the neighbors porch lights turned on and people started looking out I yelled for someone to call emergency and a police officer arrived a few minutes later I wasn't injured enough for an ambulance and Sly was long gone none of my neighbors could identify him so he escaped punishment for the attack and even bigger shock came when I told my daughter about it the next day Dad I didn't want to tell you but I also had an encounter with Sly mom called me to talk I agreed but insisted we meet away from his apartment she asked me to pick her up but when I arrived she sat me down on their couch then Sly came out and talked to me he said since Mom wasn't coping well with her injuries in bed I would have to tend to his needs he claimed she owed him and I would have to pay for it I looked at my mother and she just stared at the floor without saying anything anything Sly told me to make her comply mom looked at me and pleaded saying please baby stay with him it won't be that bad and I really need you to do this for me he then approached me grabbed my wrist and tried to force me to stand up saying we were going to the bedroom with my right hand on the pepper spray in my purse I sprayed it in his face when he pulled me away he screamed grabbed his face and I grabbed my purse attempting to pull my mother out the door but she resisted and went toward him I yelled at her to come with me but she chose to assist him in the bathroom so I left I can't believe my own mom tried to set me up with that idiot I don't know if I can ever forgive her for this I was boiling with anger like any father in my situation contemplating my Beretta in the bedroom I almost reached for it after a while my daughter reassured me confirming she wasn't damaged and advised me to consider the future I made Patty promise not to walk alone until after the trial and always to have protection with her she agreed to only date fellow students and never be alone in public gradually I regained my composure Sly urged me to talk to the DA but he didn't anticipate the conversation I had I presented a recording of my daughter discussing Sly and reminded him of s's attack on me the da inquired if I'd consider leniency toward Bev or dropping the charges absolutely not I insisted on seeking the maximum penalty Bev is under the control of this manipulative person and separating them is the only way to help her a stint in prison might straighten her out the district attorney agreed and the trial proceeded I felt fairly confident at home and work but there were moments of vulnerability especially when entering or leaving the garage however I was cautious during my commute our house sits about 10 Mi down the ranch road with only one turnoff in the next 15 miles I was well aware of other potential danger zones during the long drive home I always had my Beretta with me one evening a few days before Bev's trial I noticed headlights of a pickup truck behind me about 2 mil from home sending shivers down my spine soon it was tailgating me aggressively just 20 ft from my rear bumper going 55 miles per hour I called emergency on my phone and activated the voice recorder as I accelerated to 70 mph the pickup kept pace frantically I requested the emergency operator to contact the detective investig my assault the truck continued to tail me for another 5 miles as I narrated the situation with the pistol lying next to me I prepared for potential danger as I approached a bridge spanning a small Creek bed I suspected the driver would attempt to force me off the road approaching the bridge about a 100 yards away the pickup accelerated indicating its intent to force me off the road I briefly glimpsed Bev's face in the passenger seat as it pulled up beside me I I breaked sharply causing the car to Skid but maintaining control although the truck stopped ahead of me my quick braking prevented a collision my car slid to a halt by the roadside its rear resting on a slope leading down to the creek bed exiting the car I grabbed my weapon phone and recorder descending the Steep gravel slope beneath the bridge as I descended I noticed the pickups break lights illuminate navigating in the darkness I cautiously felt my way under the bridge Des desite the risk of encountering a rattlesnake I was more concerned about other dangers Breathing heavily I sought a secure hiding spot eventually stopping and tilting the Beretta I waited anxiously but heard nothing for a while cell phone contact with emergency was lost attempting to Redial in the dark proved feudal due to poor signal reception I was stuck uncertain if help was on the way at least the ominous growl of the pickup truck overhead was absent I resolved to remain stationary prepared to spend the night there if necessary it felt like an eternity but it was probably only 5 or 10 minutes before I heard a siren in the distance approaching from the same direction as me realizing they were far behind I began walking up the hill leaving the Beretta under the bridge raising my hands as I approached the road I implored the arriving police not to shoot observing two cars parked across the road blocking both lanes I heard sirens from the other side and saw a pickup truck heading back to the bridge I stumbled and fell into the mud while my view was limited I heard the pickup Screech to a stop and officers ordered the driver to exit and lie on the ground other police cars following the pickup stopped behind it soon Bev and Sly were in custody on attempted Slaughter charges though deeply worried I returned home showered and attempted to sleep to no avail when your spouse faces multiple felonies divorce appears remarkably straightforward the judge expressed sympathy and Bev and her lawyer offered Little Resistance desperate to minimize her prison sentence Bev proposed conceding virtually everything in the divorce for assistance in reducing her punishment during the sentencing hearing I testified to Bev's prior virtues before falling under s's influence I expressed a willingness to forgive her over time for attempting to end my life omitting her likely infidelity and years of Torment I could not interpret her facial expression in court nor did I speak to her directly ultimately Sly received a lengthy prison sentence I hope he shares a cell with a Burly inmate named Bubba who finds him particularly appealing the judge showed more leniency towards Bev but she won't be eligible for parole for at least 3 years so it's been approximately 4 years since Bev was incarcerated the DA's office informed me that she was granted parole about a year ago I kept waiting to hear from her knowing she's not in contact with Patty Revenge seemed promising but it didn't live up to expectations I found myself unable to stop dwelling on everything that had unfolded so unexpectedly I reached out to my ex-wife Bev this is Jack I have something of yours and I want it back I phoned the rehab center where Bev resided now for a few moments there was no response Beverly I want to give you a shoe box can you hear me can we arrange to meet so I can return it to you I thought she might hang up but finally she responded where when I don't care we agreed to meet at a neutral location like a restaurant or she could come to my house I suggested Sunday are you free on Sunday after a brief silence she replied I'll be there on Sunday at 2: p.
m.
