A bite of new information
Miles from her hometown, Karla, was homesick. {we get like that sometimes, don't we?}
She had moved away for school {3 states away} and secured a job before the semester started and lived on campus. Even though she had a busy schedule, she wanted to date again. It had been three years since Buster and the nasty black eye- he didn't bring very soothing memories to mind.
Karla focused on her new position as a department manager at a local clothing store as she was studying design anyway. She thought of her future to be bright and tasteful, peaceful, and full of character.
After a 45- hour work week, she decided it was time to have some fun with some friends she'd met in class and a local gym. Here, she would relieve any stressors from work, school, or afflicted areas of her life.
One weekend, Karla, Mina, Tellie, and Rena went for apple pie after a movie. In the apple pie was a message from a guy that had been eyeing Karla for a few weeks. He saved the piece of dessert particular for when she came in, and he knew she was coming in because he'd overheard the conversation for the weekend plans at the school coffee shop.
Karla bit into her tasty, laced apple pie and noticed something odd in her mouth; paper!
She grabbed a napkin, brought it to her mouth, and pulled the paper out. She was a bit horrified to find a foreign object in her pie.
Telli, the jokester of the bunch, said, "Happy Halloween." Karla didn't think that was funny at all. She said, "really?" Rena asked, "what is it?" Mina burst out, "I think it's from the guy behind the counter in the kitchen, he seems infatuated with you eating the pie, look, he's staring at you!"
Meanwhile, Karla had already taken the piece of paper out of her mouth and began to read the note. All her friends are in excitement, "what does it say, what does it say, come on!"
Karla announces after wiping juicy apple filling off the paper and her mouth, "888-123-1234", I have something to tell you that I could not say in person."
By now, the girls are intrigued and sort of freaking out. Tellie announces, "are you going to call, or do you need privacy?" It was almost like a scene from the movie Grease, "tell me more, tell me more."

Sharing with you how to move on from domestic violence. First, it may take a while for healing from a relationship that went sour.
Most ladies would run fast as they could if they received a note in their pie- however, they might also be a little excited with the thrill- depends on the person.
Know your boundaries and be discerning of what is right for you. If it's freaky like Halloween, I'm sure you don't want wants lurking around the corner. If it's heavenly, you'll know it- match actions and words with what's in your bible. Start reading, and words or phrases will stand out to you.
Proverbs 19:19 "A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do it again." Keep in mind....not ALL guys are hot-tempered. It is easy to see them that way if that's all you have ever known.
Proverbs 14:8 "The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways."
