She went by herself to eat at a steak restaurant by a river, and the sight of couples chatting intimately made her focus her attentions on Rusty. Back at their apartment complex, she scribbled a note on a torn piece of notebook paper and placed it beneath a wiper of his white Toyota Corolla. It said, I WAS THINKING MAYBE YOU COULD COME BY SOME TIME TONIGHT. "I doubt she ever did anything like that before that time," says Rusty. "She just...
