Qu’est-ce que je pouvais faire ? Me plaindre à la police ? Mais il ne s’était rien passé et je n’avais même pas de signalement à donner. Juste une silhouette, tassée à ma fenêtre, le bruit de sa respiration, l’impression de son regard. Je ne pouvais pas en parler, même pas au brocanteur, est-ce qu’il avait aussi un remède pour se débarrasser d’un stalker ?
