I caught a biker digging holes in our Little League field at midnight.
The following Saturday, the memorial committee asked Frank to speak at the field, but he refused. He said the children belonged at the center of the story, not him.

A biker who was stalking me parked outside my house every night at exactly 2:17 AM

For the next few weeks, I kept expecting something terrible to happen. Every unfamiliar car made me check the rearview mirror. Every stranger standing near Eli’s school made my stomach tighten.
