She resolved to banish thoughts of Waylen from her mind, determined to expunge his presence from her life and learn to disregard him.


    Throughout the following week, Waylen refrained from troubling her. He neither called nor appeared at her apartment to torment her.


    Rena believed it was truly the end.
