Things turned creepy

After that day in the park, we found out they committed Victoria to a psychiatric facility. Maybe now we will find peace, but then again, with the way things have been going, I doubt it.

Dom and I set a date to get married - Christmas Eve. We didn't want to drag out the engagement any longer than necessary. Both of us were ready to settle down.

So, we asked for help. Not sure if that was a good idea as our mothers and their friends got together to help. At this point, I prefer to elope.

Work was moving along, and so was Georgia. She was in her seventh month, which meant in a few months she would be going on maternity leave. It was going to suck with her not around at the office.

As we sat at our desks going through files and checking on things, there was a knock at the door.

"Kami, these came for you," Lane said, bringing in a long white box. Georgia and I looked at him as he handed the white box to me. He left, and I opened the card attached.

For my love.

What in the world? I opened the box and shocked.

Lying in the box in crepe paper was a dozen dead roses. Who would send someone dead flowers? I went to find Lane. He was talking to another employee.

"Lane, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Yeah, sure," he shrugged.

We walked off to the side, "Who sent that box?" I whispered.

"I don't know. I was walking by the front desk, and Meredith asked me to take it to you," he replied.

"Okay," I said as I walked to the front of the office. Meredith was busy typing on her keyboard when I interrupted her, "Meredith, someone dropped off a box for me. Do you know who it was?"

"Just some delivery person. Said Dom wanted to send you something special," she shrugged.

"Okay," I said as I turned and walked away. I know Dom would never send me something like that. I went back to our office and snatched up the box, carrying it to Dom's office.

Once inside, I tossed it on the desk. Dom stopped typing and looked at me, "What's this?"

"Someone said you sent me these," I said as he opened the box. He had a look of confusion on his face.

"Yeah, no. That's creepy for my tastes," Dom said to me.

I rolled my eyes, "Yes, I know. Even I'm not that dumb to believe you would send me this stuff."

"Do you think this might have to do with your stalker?"

"I wouldn't doubt it. I mean, who the hell sends dead flowers to someone?" I asked him.

"Some nut job." He looked at me and sighed. Then he walked over to me, wrapping his arms around me.

"Dom, this is so creepy. Who would do this?"

"I don't know, but I would let your dad know," he advised, and that's what I did. From there, dad had Mitch and Corey check all security logs and videos. All they found was a delivery man who was from a legitimate company.

I was a bit frustrated.

A few days later, food was ordered for us and brought it to us. Georgia and I were working on something, so we had lunch in our office.

I got up and opened a container only to drop it and scream. Georgia got up and opened another box and did the same thing.

Dad made his way to our office quickly, along with Dom and mom. They found the containers of food on the ground with worms, larvae, and other insects crawling all over it. It was disgusting.
