Suspense/Thriller- StandaloneSydney has adopted the perfectly clichéd life; barista by day, novelist by night. She has a cat, a fiancé, and a chic apartment in the city. She’s a lover of routine and schedules yet doesn’t understand how dangerous living that way can be. It allows anyone, who chooses to pay attention, access to her entire life.If someone wanted to watch her, they would know when she was home visiting with her brother or out at McKane’s grocery doing her food shopping. They could see her working on her latest novel or follow her to her luncheon with her best friend on Thursday afternoons. Anyone who chose to pay attention would see how easy it would be to insert themselves into her daily routine. It wouldn’t take much to upset the delicate balance of her carefully constructed life. She would slowly start to lose control and feel her life crumble around her. Her habits allow one to hide in plain sight while giving her little clues to let her know they care.Someone doing simple things like leaving her laptop open or rummaging through her expertly folded dresser drawers would give her pause. Leaving her small gifts like a bouquet of her favorite flower or putting wrinkles in her lavender scented, satin sheets would let her know someone was there. Anyone could believe they control her because they know every move she’ll make. They could watch her refold her intimates, smooth out her bed covers, and lovingly place her Irises in the vase, just as they have many times before.Because she’s so predictable, someone might know exactly where they need to be when her fiancé leaves her. It might even be their fault. Because someone has been watching her for years, they know if the situation doesn’t work in their favor, they may need to cut their losses and retire their pawn for good.
