"Someone has just broken into my home," she whispered hoarsely. Oh how Tina hoped she wouldn't be found. She had heard the glass break in the backroom, near the kitchen. In a split second she ran to her bedroom closet, not thinking, burying herself in a pile of clothes. Everyone thought she was some crazy paranoid freak who over dramatized everything. Nobody took her seriously, not even the police, when she had first gone to them. That night Tina had fought through tears to work up enough courage to turn Mark in. Really, how can you possibly come to such a crossroads anyhow? She loved Mark, yet she feared him in a way she had never been afraid of anything, or anyone. At first he had been so sweet, so romantic, who wouldn't have fallen for him? Now though, all she saw was rage. Walking around Mark was like trying to walk on top of eggshells. Anything set him off. Tina had put a restraining order on him, which hadn't gone over very well. In the back of Tina's mind she always thought he might try to come back violently. Never had she felt more alone than now.
"Maam, can you tell me who it is you think just broke in."

He was known to have a short fuse. Mandy was nervous when she approached him, but knew it was the right thing to do.
