What foul devilry is this? They told her he was dead. After six long years without a word, her knight falls onto his knees and sings poetry. Then he denies their son? Heed this well. She's no longer an innocent who'll giggle and tarry on his every word. The sharp edge of her tongue and knife is the only welcome he'll get. She'll not marry him. Besides, the pain would be too much to bear should he ever leave again.

Her voice is too curt, and her shifty look is downright confusing. I'm pretty sure she's asking for help, and it gets me to thinking. Four weeks ago, I almost lost her to hypothermia, while her employer, my ex-roommate, chased her into the woods. What if he's back? Maybe, that's why she's acting so strange. Whatever the reason, I'm sure as hell not letting her go. I'll fight to the death to keep what's mine safe.

What if all I got isn't enough? When you get right down to it, I am one mean son of a gun and make no apologies. You can’t own a billion-dollar company and be anything less. There’s just one thing I regret. I'm turning into the person I hated most growing up, but even he had the decency to walk out. Me, not so much.
