Re: Sidewalk Interlude - 9:15 a.m. (Dinah, Fred)
Dinah glanced to Fred at Fred's suggestion that maybe Beauty didn't know what Eric was capable of. It was possible. After all, Fred had fallen in with Eric as well.
She looked back to Beauty's hurt expression and then her gaze flickered down to the envelope. The trust wasn't there, but her own look softened just a bit. She did reach out to take the envelope.
"Thank you."
She sighed. Beauty couldn't have known that she would be in the shop today so this at least hadn't been part of whatever plan might have been there. In fact, Dinah didn't know exactly what the long game was so it was entirely possible that Beauty had just been duped by Eric and the rest was coincidence.
She tucked the envelope in her purse and then pulled out her cell phone. She opened it to one of the many picture messages sent her by Eric. She handed that to Beauty.
"Perhaps you aren't aware of what he's capable of. Maybe it was all of a coincidence. I hope for your sake that that's the case. If that is the case, these are the sorts of messages he's been sending me ever since I met him a few months ago. And let's just say that that's the least harassing thing he's done to me."
