He explained that he followed her from the last place they were in for her birthday celebration and “just wanted to see her.”
“Absolutely not,” she thought to herself. “Nothing about that sat right with me.”
Then, she realized that this man must have followed her home and mistook her for her sister since she accidentally left the birthday party wearing her sister’s jacket.
Suddenly, as she tried to close the door, he tried to force his way in. She tried her best to push him away, but it didn’t work because he was much larger than her. He started yelling out her sister’s name while shoving her to the side. Thankfully, her friend stepped in at the right time and managed to push him up against a wall and hit him in the face. He must not have realized someone else was home.
Finally, he ran from the front door back into his car and drove off. She locked her front door before calling the police and filing a report. She noted that she actually had a doorbell camera at the time and realized too late that she should have just spoken to him through the camera while inside the house instead of risking her safety by opening the door.
When she saw her sister again, she showed her his picture from the camera. Her sister had no idea who he was, although she said he looked somewhat familiar.
“I should have just gauged him from inside the house and not opened the door,” she explained. “Carelessness got the better of me in that instant, and I’m still kicking myself over it. This could have ended a lot worse.”
Can you imagine what would’ve happened if that guy somehow made his way into her house?
