\nCassidy
\nstraightened as Detective Sean Pierce returned with a Styrofoam cup
\nof coffee and a Coke. He popped open the can and handed it to her.
\nNondescript in his gray striped button-down shirt and khakis,
\nDetective Pierce scraped up a plastic chair beside her. From his
\nretracting brown hair and the crinkles under his dark eyes, he looked
\nas if he was in his early forties, but he had the trim build of a
\nthirty-year-old athlete.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n“Yes.
\nI feel a little silly coming here when this person hasn\u2019t even
\napproached me yet, but he gives me a bad vibe. He\u2019s really
\npersistent, and if you read his letters, he\u2019s not all there if you
\nknow what I mean.” Cassidy passed over the pile of envelopes and
\npicked up Raggedy Ann from the floor beside her feet.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nCassidy
\npulled herself erect, balancing the soda can on her knee. She\u2019d
\nbeen the one to end most of her short-term relationships, but none of
\nthe guys had seemed overly distressed. They\u2019d taken the hint and
\nstopped calling. Unfortunately, the one man who made her toes tingle
\nwas engaged. “I don\u2019t think so. It’s someone who saw me on TV.
\nIt has to be.”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nShe
\nscribbled a list of all her dates since high school, a deep flush
\ncoloring her cheeks. Four names, only one in the past year. Working
\nher way through college hadn\u2019t left much time for a social life and
\nshe\u2019d turned down several dates at the gym to avoid awkward
\nsituations when the relationship soured. Cassidy had even less
