All too true: "We can not help you", the police said, "only if he kills you it is possible for us to arrest him". And too sad.
I love the twist at the end - and the way she kept her promise.
For real, my husband's brother was once a concert pianist but repetitive strain injury to his hand (focal dystonia) put him in a job as liturgist for a church. One look at him and this redhead prayed, "Please, Jesus, make him mine." They've been married 35+ years now with two very musical sons. One a jazz guitarist, one a prep-school orchestra teacher. There's a story about a Catholic spinster who prayed and prayed for a husband, for years, to no avail. In frustration, she tossed her prayer statue of (whoever) out the window. It knocked out a man on the sidewalk below. You guessed it: that man became her husband! (Not even gonna search this to see if it's true. It's too good a story to care if it's true or not.)
