after the wonderful date shit was not going so wonderful, as the days went by, Peanut couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. It started with subtle things a glimpse of a figure in the shadows, a rustling in the bushes when he walked home, and eerie anonymous messages.

Each incident left him more unsettled than the last. He confided in Levi, who urged him to be cautious. They decided to share their concerns with Jeremy and Michael, who took the matter seriously.

One evening, as Peanut was leaving a cafe, he felt a presence behind him. He quickened his pace, his heart pounding. Glancing back, he saw a figure in a hooded jacket following him.

Fear coursing through his veins, Peanut dialed Jeremy's number. His trembling voice pleaded, "Guys, I think he's following me again."

Jeremy's voice was calm but determined. "Stay on the line, Peanut. We're coming to you."
