He Sees You

---

Dove

I’m being stalked by Santa.

Does that sound crazy? I get it. I feel crazy. From the moment I caught him watching me from the corner where he jangled his jingle bells, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s following me—and then, on Christmas Eve, I wake up to find him in my room.

He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake…

I should’ve screamed. I should’ve grabbed my phone and called 9-1-1… but I didn’t do any of that. I confronted him instead, and then I discovered that Santa… he knows when you’ve been bad or good.

He also knows when you’ve been very naughty—and he has no problem blackmailing you to get what he wants this Christmas.

Because Santa wants me, and when I get him out of that red suit he's got on, and he's not wearing the fake beard anymore, I find out that calling the cops would’ve been pointless.

After all, I already have one in my house after Officer Coleman broke into it.

There isn’t anything I won’t do to make Dove Yarrow mine.

I’ve been obsessed with the sweet photographer since I responded to a call at the downtown department store where she works, and though she’s an old pro behind the lens, it took her way longer than it should have to realize that she was being watched.

I have my mentor to thank for that. Officer Mason Burns took me under his wing when I joined the Springfield Police Department after a recent career change. Not only has he taught me the ropes when it comes to being a beat cop, but when he picked up on my obsession with Dove, he taught me a very important lesson:

Civilians see the badge. The uniform. With both, you can get away with anything.

That goes triple for a Santa suit.

I want Dove. I’ve made it my New Year’s resolution to call this woman mine, and when my stalking reveals a hidden dark side to her, I won’t hesitate to use that to get everything I desire...

Because you better not pout. You better not cry.

Officer Coleman is coming to make you his this Christmas.
