I recall looking at the strange straps on the seats. We tested out these new 'seatbelts' to see what made them work. They were all lap belts at the ti...me. They snapped together and you could adjust the length of the belt to make it fit on you.Not long after I remember having a recurring dream. A nightmare really. Where we were driving on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and our car was suddenly sinking in the water. I had the new seatbelt on and it would not snap open no matter how much I tried.I knew. When I caught him looking at me, it was like he could see how small and insecure and vulnerable I was myself and I didn’t like it. I needed to be strong, and I so desperately needed people to think of me that way. And then he loved to tease me. ‘New boyfriend, Nina?’ he asked one Sunday night he and my sister, Chloe, decided to visit. Since he knew damn well it was a new boyfriend and I was trying to impress him by wearing my best red dress, I glared at him and gave him some murmured answer.. It looked as if she'd just moved in.Hooke smiled and turned around quickly, surprising Felicia and making her jump back against the door."Nice to meet you Felicia. My name is Hooke." His face held a false smile, the kind that didn't extend to his eyes. "Mr. Tyler's told me a lot about you." Yes." She was unsure what he meant. "Can I get you something to drink?" Vodka. On the rocks."He watched her walk to the kitchenette. She hadn't changed from her office clothes."You're a nice looking woman. As I looked around, I began to recognize some of the guys from earlier in the evening. The huge black man who sat down next to me at the motel bar and took over my space was there. He was the one who put his finger up my pussi while I was drinking a wine he bought me. I smiled at him. Derek was also there, one of the guys in the motel room when I arrived earlier in the night. He seemed nice and I hoped that he would be my protector if one was needed. How I got in this situation is interesting..
