"Wow, thank you. Thank you so much" I grin softly at my reflection before I turn back to thank them. All three of them have started to pack up all of their equipment, while I stand up from my seat and grab the dress by the hanger. "Need help with the dress honey?" Marcus asks as he wraps the cord b
Since I have the gold through my hair, I decide not to wear too much jewellery. However, I do put on the earrings that Rhodes gave me when he came back from Seattle. This would be one of the only occasions that I can think of where it will be appropriate to wear them. "Ready love?" Rhodes's loud vo

I've just inserted myself into this conversation, and I'm going to have to find a way to get myself out of it. On top of that I've broken one of Rhodes's rules: speak when spoken to when out in public, I don't even dare to take a sneak peek. "Yes dear, they are" Lenny grins at me, an evil grin, one
Rhodes's a strong, opinionated man. And I'm sure he can convince anyone to believe anything, the way he has convinced me he cares so many times over the last few weeks. "Because, there are certain people who you don't want to piss off. Lenny and Boyce are those people" He's scared of them? "Bad fo
