The Tenant

Krista has lunch at a diner with Becky. She thinks of how good of a friend Becky is, as she’s loyal but not too attractive, meaning that she will never be a threat. They talk about how lucky Krista is to have found Blake.

Krista gets distracted when the server comes back because her name is Whitney. Then the manager calls the server “Ms. Cross,” which chills Krista, as the woman has her exact birth name.

Krista meets with Elijah Myers, the man who confronted Blake at the food stand. She met him in high school when Elijah helped her create her new identity and disappear after the incident with Jordan.

Krista asks Elijah if someone may be using her old name. He admits that it is, as she is still listed as a missing person. He also scrubbed the internet of all traces of her, meaning that someone could want the name because it would come with a clean record. Elijah promises to look into it for her.

At one o’clock in the morning, Blake comes home from work. Krista always waits up for him with cookies. However, this time, he seems disheveled, with his shirt buttoned wrong. He is dismissive, going immediately to bed.
