have everything you’ll need for a couple of weeks, because there is no way in hell you’ll be coming back here just so you can get more clothes. That doesn’t mean you can’t come back to your apartment, but you won’t do so without one of us. Is that understood, sugar?”
    “Yes, Steve,” she replied.
    He was always giving orders and expecting them to be carried out immediately, and she guessed she was no exception. She might end up with a broken heart and unemployed, but she might also just end up finding the loves of her life. She wanted to yell at the top of her lungs that yes, she wanted to stay with them, but she was also cautious because of the last relationship she had been in.
    Joe Cox had been so nice when they had first started dating, but as their relationship progressed he began to get more demanding and picky. First he criticized the way she wore her hair or how she did her makeup. Then he started in on what type of clothes she wore and how she wore them, and what was worse was that she took notice.
    She hadn’t been going out with him for very long and thanked God every day that she had held off when he had pressured her for sex. The final straw had been when he had kissed her so brutally she had tasted her own blood. She knew then that she had to break things off. Joe scared her, and there was no way she was going to continue a relationship with someone who terrified her. She had pushed him away from her and told him she was sorry but she didn’t think they were really suited and that they had nothing in common, which was true. Instead of accepting her decision, he had snarled at her that she was a whore and that she belonged to him. Then he had hit her.
    The blow had landed on her cheek, and when she fell to the floor, he had leaned down over her and laid into her. She didn’t remember screaming, but she must have, because after the umpteenth punch had landed on her torso, arms, legs, and stomach, he was hauled off of her. The next thing she knew, her neighbor was talking to her, but she was too out of it to comprehend what he had said. She was lucky that he hadn’t ignored her screams, because God only knew what condition she would have been in if he hadn’t come to her rescue. He had called a doctor to her apartment, and much to her relief she hadn’t had any internal injuries, but her ribs had been bruised, so she hadn’t been able to work for the next five days.
    Once recovered she had brought a gift for her neighbor to thank him and then, feeling ashamed to be caught in such a situation, had raced back to her apartment and tried to avoid him ever since. But she was eternally grateful he hadn’t taken offense, as after Joe violated his restraining order and forced his way into her apartment, the same concerned neighbor had heard her screams and saved her again. In hindsight Selina knew she really had nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about since none of it was her fault, but Joe had slowly chipped away at her self-confidence until she began to doubt her own intuition and abilities.
    Shaking her head and pushing her introspection aside, she decided her bag was packed. Hoping she had gotten everything she needed, she closed the zipper. She had been so absorbed in her thoughts she didn’t even realize what she was doing until it was done. Taking a deep breath, she turned around. She lowered her gaze when she spotted them leaning against the doorjamb of her bedroom. She hadn’t even realized they were there.
    “Are you ready to go, sugar?” Steve asked, holding a hand out toward her as he moved closer.
    “Yes,” she replied, reaching for her bag.
    “No you don’t, baby. I’ll get that. Come on, let’s get you home and settled.” Gary picked up her bag and headed out.
    Selina took a deep breath, trying to calm her ragged nerves, and hoped like hell she was doing the right thing.
