Re: Lisa wants to know if she can have a black card
Lisa told me to ask you if she can have a black Amex. :) And if the answer is no, she said can you please find her a man. I said I’d see what I can do. Haha.
By the way, the next time you come into my office for a quickie, it has to be a quickie. An hour and a half isn’t a quickie. Just in case you didn’t know.
Love you!

Re: Forever starts today
Tell Lisa that I’ll give her a black Amex the day she can afford her own rent. I do not want her living with us when we get married, which I expect to be soon, btw. I’d like to vacation in Hawaii. There’s a certain waterfall I want to make love under. Also, what do you want for dinner tonight?
I love you more!!

“Meet me outside my door.”
“Yes, Leo.”
“Hurry.”
“I’m coming.”
“I sure hope not. I’m not there.”
“Funny.”
“Hurry up, I want to go home and make love to my beautiful fiance.”
“I’m on the way.”
“Yes!”
“You’re not going to email and text me all day, every day, are you??”
“It’s not against the rules is it?”
“Never.”
“Good, you know I can’t follow rules anyway.”
“I know. :)”
“Just for that, we’re going to christen the elevator.”
“Leo!!”
“Yes! That’s what I want you to scream when I make you come in five minutes.”
“I’ll be there in ten seconds.”
“That’s what I like to hear.”
“I love you.”
“I love you more.”
“I love you even more.”
“I love you to the moon and back.”
“I love you to Pluto.”
“I love you to Eternity.”
“I love you to infinity.”
“I love you to the edges of the earth.”
“I love you with every beat of my heart.”
“I love you Hannah Will.”
“I love you Leo Maxwell.”
“I’m so glad you’re going to be my wife.”
“I’m so glad you’re going to be my husband.”
“Taking your job was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. You’ve made all my dreams come true, Hannah. Know my heart will always be yours, to do with what you will. I will love you forever and I will never be guarded around you. You’re my everything Hannah. You’re the beat in my heart. I love you.”

Illusion prologue
“Bianca, where are you?” His voice sounded angry, and I shivered as I opened my eyes.
I stared at the large expanse of dark midnight blue sky through the tree branches and prayed that he didn’t find me. I could see the white-sand beaches from my vantage point. The whole island looked so much smaller from up here. My limbs felt numb, but I was too scared to even move an inch. If he heard the rustling of leaves, he’d know where I was. I closed my eyes again and tried not to think about falling.
“Bianca, this isn’t funny.” His voice was hoarse, and I heard his footsteps moving closer to me. “Bianca, if you can hear me . . .” He paused, and his voice changed. “Please don’t make this harder than it has to be. I’m not going to hurt you.”#p#分页标题#e#
I heard a branch snap below me, and I knew he was close. All he had to do was look up. If he looked up, he’d be able to find me. This man who’d become my most intimate confidante was now my predator, and I was his prey. I opened my eyes and took a deep breath before looking down. An in- voluntary gasp escaped my mouth as I realized how high up I was. That was my first mistake.
“I’ve found you,” his voice cracked as he looked up at me with dark eyes. “When will you learn? You can’t escape me.”
“Did you hurt him?” My fingers started trembling as I looked back down at him. “Tell me. Did you hurt him?”
“It depends on what you mean by hurt.” He lifted his hands up, and I saw that his fingers were drenched in blood.
I closed my eyes; I had my answer.
“I did it for us,” he said simply, and I felt my heart drop into my stomach. “Don’t you trust me?” he asked me softly as he started to climb the tree. I saw the shiny glitter of the silver knife in his left hand before he placed it into his pocket and my heart stopped beating for a second.
“I trust you.” I nodded and waited for him to reach me. That was my second mistake.
