What happened when Sandra received a mysterious package?
So one day, this woman steps outside, and there's a package on her front porch. And she looks at it, and, oh, it was sent by someone in her family. Cool. And she goes to pick it up, and kaboom, the package explodes in her face. Now, the woman, her name's Sandra. And Sandra works at this restaurant. She's a server, and it's a good job. It keeps her bills paid.
Who is Steven and how did he become a regular in Sandra's life?
But one day, that all changes when this guy comes in and he sits in her section. His name's Steven. So Sandra takes Steven's order and she's polite and she brings him his food and just normal stuff. But the next day, Steven comes back and he sits in her section again. And the day after that, he comes back again and then again and again and again. And every day from then on. And each time he comes in, he sits in Sandra's section. And she doesn't give him any special attention. She just takes his order like anyone else. But each time he comes in, afterwards, he goes home and he fantasizes about Sandra, about asking her out. While Sandra goes home and she doesn't think about Steven at all. Sure, she's a little weirded out by him coming in every day, sometimes twice a day, but he seems mostly harmless. Until this whole pattern goes on for about two years. Like he comes in and he sits in her section and he orders food. But then one day Steven gets a little courage and he looks at himself in the mirror and he thinks today is the day. Today I'm going to ask her out.
What uncomfortable situation did Sandra face with Steven?
So he shows up to the restaurant like normal and he sits in her section and eats like normal. But this time, instead of asking Sandra for the bill, he's like, hey, Want to go see a movie sometime? And Sandra, she doesn't know what to say. She's like, I'm flattered, but no, thank you. And from that moment on, it's all awkward. And poor Steven, his feelings are all hurt.
How did Sandra react after rejecting Steven's invitation?
So he leaves and Sandra thinks, well, all right, maybe he'll finally stop coming in. But that's not what happens. The next day, he shows up again and he sits in her section like normal and he starts creeping, just staring at her the whole time while she works for hours. And it's really uncomfortable for her. And then the day after that, he comes in again and then again and again and again. And each time he just sits there and watches her while she works. And of course, this really starts to creep her out. So one day she's decided she's had enough. So she tells her manager and then her manager goes up to Steven and he's like, all right, buddy, you got to sit in a different section. She can't serve you anymore. You're creeping her out. So Steven does. He sits in another section.
What actions did Steven take after being rejected by Sandra?
But even in that new section, he just sits there and stares at Sandra the whole time from way across the room. And he takes any opportunity he can to interact with her while she tries her best to avoid him. Now at this point, deep down, Steven is pissed off. Like how dare she reject a nice guy like him and make him move sections. So then outside of work, he starts following her.
What happened to Sandra's car, and how did it relate to Steven?
Or at least, Sandra's paranoid now and she thinks he's following her. She isn't totally sure. She doesn't have proof. But then one day she wakes up and she goes out to her car and she finds that someone has slashed her tires and she immediately knows it was Steven and she reports it to police. But unfortunately she has no evidence it was him. A few days later, she's at home lying on the couch and she hears something outside and she looks out the window and sure enough, she sees someone in all black and a black hoodie slashing her tires. And she can't see the guy's face, but she knows it's Steven. She can tell by the way he walks. So in response to this, she sets up a surveillance camera outside her house.
A few days after that, she's driving to work and suddenly her car starts sputtering. So she goes home and she checks the surveillance footage and she sees the same guy from before in all black, but this time he's messing with her gas tank. the next night around 2 a.m. she's at home and she happens to look out her window and she catches the same man outside messing with her gas tank again but this time she catches it early enough to call 911 while the crime is taking place so then Boom, police go and they arrest Steven and they charge him with destruction of property and he gets found guilty and he's sentenced to six months in prison.
