......
Rowane was startled to hear Leah inviting her over. She stared blankly at Leah.
She seemed to be embarrassed.
After a long silence, she said, "Leah, I'm going to the police station later. I bought the taser online, and I'll gift it to you now. Just use it against him if he ever finds you again. It's strong enough."
She passed the taser to Leah.
Leah was startled. "I can buy it myself."
"I've bought two," Rowane said, "This is for you."
Leah was startled again. She didn't expect that.
She didn't put on airs either and reached out to take it. "Thank you."
Rowane shook her head and smiled. "Ever since he assaulted me, I was traumatized and I prepared this in advance. I knew he wasn't going to behave himself when I saw him leaving earlier today."
"He was so relieved after my abortion at the hospital yesterday. He wasn't upset at all."
"I couldn't believe that he wasn't at least sad to end our baby's life."
"Only then did I realize that he wanted to get rid of me."
