“More than enough when you never needed to in the first place. All I did was allow the people that mattered to see you clearly. If you were not already a valuable commodity nothing I would have done would matter. Your writing spoke for itself. What you wrote was not easy, definitely not like those cheap romance novels, it deserves the tag of literature.” Her book had made it to the New York Times bestseller list. It entered the list at nine before climbing and peaking at four. Miguel and Santos will be vacationing in Paris as my gift for their success.

“Stop, you’ll give me a big head. Hey, don’t knock those romance novels. They are a hell of a lot harder to write than you’d think.”

“You tried to write romance?” I’m intrigued.

She blushes. “The first one I tried to turn into a romance. It just didn’t work. When I finished I tried to write another romance, only I hated it, it was not romance at all. I couldn’t stick the landing.”

“Stick the landing?”

“The happily ever after, I couldn’t get it down. Nothing I wrote felt right, no matter how much I tried it all went wrong, or I just kept writing.”

“Hmm, happily ever after does not come easily in the real world. As much we seek to escape into fiction, it has to have an element of truth or no matter how well the fiction is written it becomes unbelievable.”

“You don’t believe in happily ever after?”

“Not really, I believe more in happy for now. Although I will admit that seeing Elise and Dmitri genuinely happy after eight years and four children makes me wonder if it is possible.”

Our walk home is slow. Once we get home Alexa teases me into admitting I enjoyed it, then I tease her into a slow breathless orgasm.

I’m living in a dream and I hope I never wake up. Every night I fall asleep in Leo’s arms and every morning I wake up in them too. I’m falling even deeper in love with this new Leo. This new Leo who smiles every day, a dozen times a day. Who takes me out to lunch, or during the days he’s busy orders in lunch and makes sure we eat together without a word about work. This new Leo who talks about his brother, and anything I ask him about without reservation. Then there is the way he makes sure to include me in his lunches with Drake and Dmitri, complimenting my insight, my questions, my desire to learn more.
