Megan asked, "Molly, how well do you really know him?"Barry and I met at a coffee shop.I was working when he came over and asked, "Could I get to know you?"He seemed polite, and I was single, so I gave him my number.As we got to know each other, he told me he managed projects for a company and earned enough to support a family.He respected my boundaries and treated me well.So, I agreed to date him.We were together for two full years.For most of that time, I thought he was an ordinary office worker. Then, six months ago, he took me home to meet his family.I sat in the living room of their mansion, stunned, while a housekeeper served me tea.I asked why he never told me.He said, "My mom thinks too many people are after money. She told me not to reveal what we have until I was serious about marrying someone."I wasn’t comfortable with that.But we loved each other, so I let it go.Megan knew all of this.Before I could answer her question, she went on."Molly, someone who tests

I slipped my phone back into my bag and forced a smile when I looked up."Barry, I think I forgot my ID."Barry stopped sorting through his paperwork. "That can’t be right. Didn’t you say you put it in your bag yesterday?"I moved my bag behind me. "I must have been mistaken. Maybe it’s still in a drawer at home. I’ll go back and get it—"Before I finished, Barry took the bag from my hand. My whole body went rigid.He unzipped it, felt around inside, and pulled out my ID. Then he held it up in front of me."Here it is, silly."His voice was gentle, and he was still smiling. But sweat broke out across my back as I stared at the ID, unable to speak.The clerk behind the counter looked up at us, then studied my face.She set down her pen."If you’re having second thoughts, I suggest you go home and take some time to decide. Marriage is a big step.""You’re both here by choice. There’s no need to rush."Barry’s expression darkened. He turned to me with a frown. "Molly, what’s wrong?"I gri

When I got downstairs, Barry had opened two large boxes of fruit and divided the contents into portions. He gave some to reception and some to the administrative staff, then carried the rest toward the elevator.Everyone in my department watched."Molly’s been having a hard time lately. Thanks for bearing with her." He smiled and nodded to each person.I pulled Barry aside. "What are you doing here? I’m at work."He looked at me helplessly. "Molly, you won’t see me. What else can I do? If I did something wrong, tell me. Don’t just shut me out."He took half a step toward me, and I instinctively moved back. "I… I just need some space.""Space?" Barry gave a bitter laugh. "Look at you, Molly. You can’t even stand the thought of me holding your hand. What happened? Please tell me so we can work through it together."I pulled my hand away. "Nothing happened. I’m busy with work, and I don’t have the energy for our relationship right now. You should go."Then I hurried into the elevator.

After we gave our statements, I asked the officer handling the case, "Could Barry be charged with a crime?"The officer glanced at Megan and shook his head. "It would be difficult. The knife was new and still in its packaging. He pounded on the door, but he didn’t hurt anyone."He says he came to talk to his girlfriend and happened to buy a paring knife on the way. The neighbors also described him as a good boyfriend. That makes it hard to prove he intended to hurt you."At most, he may receive a warning, spend a few days in custody, pay a fine, and be released."I sank into the chair, cold all over. A few days, and then they would let him go. What would happen after that?He could wait outside my building or my office. He could even go to my mother’s home and try to hurt me again.Megan touched my shoulder. "Molly, the agreement…"Her reminder brought me back to my senses. I took the papers from my bag and handed them to the officer."I think he planned to hurt me. This is the eviden
