Being in jail, gave Dewei lots of time to think.
He compered Rachel, and Lan Fan; there was no comparison. He liked Lan Fan more.
Rachel had informed him, that Lan Fan and Ling were, now, married.
They, Ling and Lan Fan, even, had a little girl. 'I bet that she's beautiful.' Dewei thought with a smirk.
He watched, as Rachel came over, looking breathless like she had rushed over, again.
He relaxed; she would get permission to visit him. (She always did.)
The guard unlocked, and opened the jail cell.
Rachel walked right in.
She leaned in, and kissed him on the cheek.
He smiled, and pulled her down on his lap. He captured her lips in a very, heated kiss.
She beamed, as she pulled back from the kiss, and handed Dewei more flowers.
"Thank you." Dewei told her, trying to sound like he meant it. He did not want anymore flowers.
He, also, did not love her, but he'd string her along to get help from her along the way. He had noticed how fiercely loyal, she could be to the people, that she loves.
"We'll be together, soon." Dewei told her, affectionately, not noticing that it sounded a lot like a goodbye.
"How?" Rachel asked, hopelessly.
"They'll have to let me out at some point." Dewei spoke, mysteriously, concealing his true plan.
She stared back at Dewei, looking unsure. They had told her, that, "Dewei would never see the light of day, again." In other words, he would never be released from jail.
She would never admit it, but she had cried, when they had told her about Dewei's life sentence.
She wanted to be fearless, and emotionally strong, but she wasn't.
"Be safe." She told him, weakly.
It killed her, that the man she loved was sentenced to life in prison.
