It’s the ‘yours’ that cracks the top layer of ice over my heart.

I re-read it, several times. The man from last night wants to help me with my fear? He wants to take care of me? I remember a thought I had while I was at his place: Who takes care of him?

I think of the woman he might find if I say no. Someone who won’t mind hurting him. Someone who will likely even enjoy making him bleed and flinch.

The thought makes me sick.

Everything I told myself this morning evaporates as I hold the thick letter. While I sit there, feeling dizzy, with my thoughts racing and my chest aching, I feel a light tap on my shoulder.

“Ma’am?” I whirl around to find myself facing an older man dressed in a black uniform. “Are you Lauren?”

“Who are you?” I whisper.

“I’m Cecil, an employee of Edgar. Would you like a ride?”

My eyes bug out. “You were here waiting for me?”

He smiles a little. “Yes ma’am. I’m your chauffeur.”

I look from the letter, to him, and back to the letter. What the fuck, Hansel? “How did you know I would say yes?” I demand.

“I didn’t,” he says.

“If I say ‘no’ right now, what will you do?” I’m genuinely curious.

“Are you saying no?” he asks me lightly.

“Maybe.”

“Yes or no, ma’am?” His face looks strange, as if he’s waiting for my answer to take me to the next level of some game.

“I’m saying yes, I guess. Yes to no. I’m saying ‘no.’”

He reaches into his pocket and pulls out another letter.

I’m sorry to be pushy, but I have to have you, Lauren. You remind me very much of someone I once loved.

Let me turn your Vegas trip into a fairy tale.

My heart clenches.

The man clears his throat. “Well?”

I clutch the letter to my chest. Is this message specifically for me? Sure, he saw me last night, but does he realize now that I was ‘Lauren’? Does he even remember last night?

My mind races.

“Why don’t you ride over to The Forest, Lauren? If you change your mind, I’ll be glad to take you to the airport.”

“How do you know I’m going there?” I ask suspiciously.

He nods at my suitcase, where an airline’s emblem is stamped on a luggage tag that’s dangling.

I nod slowly.

He winks. “I was told to be persuasive.”

“Why didn’t Edgar come himself?” I ask softly.

“He had a meeting. He’ll be there waiting for you, but right now, that’s where he is.”

I let my breath out. Squeeze the handle of my rolling suitcase. He isn’t in a meeting. He wants to play this game with me in the role of ‘Lauren’: someone he doesn’t know. He wants me near him, but he’s scared to have me there as Leah.

I rub my head. What does this mean?

“If I change my mind, Cecil, you’ll take me to the airport? You promise?” I ask.

He nods. “He doesn’t want you forced, Lauren. He told me, don’t make that girl feel like she’s being kidnapped.”

Cecil smiles a little, but it’s not funny to me.
