New Life

As soon as I saw the house, I knew I was home.  That I was finally ready to start my new life.  A life where Jeremy would never find me.  I knew he would never follow me across an ocean to a country where he wouldn’t understand the language.  In a country whose native language isn’t English, he would never be successful. As soon as I opened the front door, I knew I was wrong.  The candle sitting in the middle of the coffee table was signature Jeremy.  I just needed to know when and where he would show up.
