"Ms. Brooks, don't forget to check your doors and windows tonight. I've heard there's been a murder in the neighborhood and the killer is still on the loose. He hasn't left yet. You must be careful!" Norah warned me just before hanging up the phone.
I had been so busy arguing with my mom these past few days that I hadn't paid much attention to the news. Hearing Norah's words, was caught off guard.
"Alright, I got it," I replied.
After hanging up, I immediately got up to check my front yard and locked the gate. Then I inspected all the other doors and windows. Only after making sure everything was locked did I breathe a sigh of relief.
Not having much appetite, I decided to give Serena and Brandon a bath and let them play with Daisy in the yard. Looking at Daisy's growing size, I suddenly understood Damon's intention behind getting the dog.
Daisy was a great deterrent!
