She began running. From her husband, from the love of her life, from her friends, from her family, she was running.

Theresa was tired of all of the craziness that Harmony held. She had realized last night the complete and utter irony of the name. Nothing in this town resembled harmony. She was doomed as long as she stayed there. She hated this place. All it held was bad memories.

She had told her family of her decision. They had asked her to stay. She had asked them to leave.

She said if they didn’t know it now, they’d realize it later. Harmony was cursed. Everyone who came there became hurt and left broken. The only way to heal was to leave. And never come back. Away from them she could lead a semi-normal life. She picked up the-no-longer-little Little Ethan or Ethan Jr. as he preferred in his preteen age, packed up the car and left.

She was currently on the highway, Ethan sleeping in the back. She was definitely breaking the speed limit, but she knew none of the officers would be patrolling this part of town until later; the perks of having a cop for a brother.

Ok, now she was pretty sure she was going to have an accident. She was racing. Who she was racing against, she wasn’t sure. But she did know something. She knew that as the Crane mansion in all its glory slipped out of view, she saw him, and he was watching her.

And Harmony would hear the sounds of a speeding car, and the whispers a broken man saying:

“I’ll find you Theresa, I’ll bring you back. Because Harmony is ruined, and I’m only staying so I can fix it for you.”

He picks up his speciality food, and walked to the phone. He calls Sam Bennett to report a break-neck speeding car. It’s stupid thing to call in for. But it’s still Sam’s job.

There was a time that he would do anything to keep her out of jail. But he was selfless then, at least when it came to her.

Now he’s just selfish.

Now he would do anything to keep her in jail.

If it meant she would stay closer to him.

The End.
