"Why?", she asked.
"It isn't the right time for more.” Mike said as he ran his finger down her cheek wiping away the tears there.

He typed in a code on the pin pad she saw as he touched it, it became luminescent. She tilted her head and looked at him as the door popped open.

"Oh, I can piece together just about anything if I wanted too.", he said as he turned to her, "But I would rather learn it from the source, not a computer screen."

Lori woke from the nap her and Mike both took to the sound of running water. She looked around the room only to realize there were no clocks anywhere in the house. She had turned off her phone at the restaurant the night before. She had no idea how long or little she had slept. The light seemed to be still high, so she guessed it was a short nap. Time with Mike had been interesting, to say the least. She had never met someone like him before, he was guarded, but open to her, almost every conversation with him was an eye-opener for her.He cared very little for his good fortune in life because it came

"I just thought of a way to check all of what you said with one search.", Mike said with a smile. "It would be undeniably easier this way.""How?", she asked as she followed him in the computer room."We were looking at it backward. I was seeing how they spent their money not how they made it. If there is one thing that always remains true, it is the statement follow the money. I was, but we need to follow the money backward. If they are receiving a payment from the same

One year later"I love it here.", Lori said as she leaned over the balcony on the deck."I know it is your favorite place.", Mike replied."No, it isn't.", she smiled as she turned to him."Really then where?", He asked as he looked at her as she smiled. He never got over that feeling of pure happiness from just seeing that smile she only gave him."Next to you is my favorite place.", she said as she stuck out her tongue and turned away to look over to the lake again."Oh really?", he said low and in her ear as he came to stand behind her."Mike you know that is my favorite place.", she said without turning to look at him."Is that why you asked to come out here this weekend?", he asked."No.," she smiled."Then why?", He asked as she usually just said let's go to the lake house for a quick getaway but this time she had made a big deal about going.

Mike stared at the ceiling as he felt the small weight settle onto the right side of his chest. His arms were draped over her as she slept soundly in her favorite spot it seemed. He needed her there. He realized though he was beyond spent he couldn't fall asleep. He was listening to the sounds of her breathing, and he was thinking about the day to come. He knew that wasn't going to be a good scene when he told the other two of his plans to keep her with him, or the fact he had somehow won her heart in the process of saving her.
