Briar POV
It’s been two days since my last run in with Lucy. At first, I thought Derek was going overboard about the protective order against her, but he’s right. I have to think about not only myself but my child. She seemed completely unhinged. We’re now sitting in the lawyer's office, where I’m giving him all the details of our last few encounters. “I don’t see an issue, Mrs. Martin, with getting you the restraining order after everything you’ve told me. I will give that petition to the judge, and we should have an answer in a few hours. Once it's approved, if she attempts to contact you in anyway, you need to let the authorities know," he says. “I appreciate that. Thank you for your time, Mr. Simon.” "It was my pleasure," he says, and Derek leads me out of his office.
I expect Derek
