I have readied the guest room for them. We will all continue to sleep in the same bed while they are here. I want them to be sure they know what's goi...g on and never accuse us of deceiving them." What shall we do about Sheila?"Caroline said."I don't want her here. I am content and sometimes jealous of mom now. I don't want to Alan any more then I have to. If I had known how I would feel about him I might never have fixed him up with you mom. Or after you had him I would never have agreed to. Itdidn't hurt, as it was only a pencil flashlight. I realised thatturning the light on would give away my position. I foolishlyremembered that the man seemed to know exactly where I was anyway. Iturned the light on and looked at the badge. It looked authentic andidentified the bearer as Special Agent Goddard.I sighed audibly. "I can read it," I called out weakly."May I come to where you are?" Please," I replied. I collapsed back against the wall.A figure appeared beside me. "Are you alright,. I am not calling to stop the plane."Diego pulled the phone from his ear and jabbed at the end button. He threw it across the room and watched as the back came off and the battery went flying. He turned to leave when the note Ronnie had left him caught his eye.He grabbed the note and walked to the table. He sat down and carefully opened it, hoping against hope it would say she'd only gone back to San Juan to look for him.Diego -You cannot know how much it means to me to have had you in my life,. He stops at the doors of my hotel, and I turn to him. “Thank you,” I say softly. “Thank YOU,” he replies, in a perfect echo of our last goodbye six months ago. He smiles at me gently, obviously remembering that moment as well as I do. I give him a hug, without clinging, and press my lips to his cheek in a soft caress. I then get out of the truck and walk through the doors, without a backward glance. There’s something about this whole thing that has left me a bit uneasy, though I can’t think for.
