"Goodnight Anthony."
He smiled at her. Walking out of the bedroom she called,
"Anthony?"
He turned to her.
"Um is it wrong to say....." she was stalling about something.
He walked back over to the bed. "Anthony, I normally don't do this. I mean, I've known you for a few weeks
now and I think it's long enough to say that.....I........."
He tucked a stray strand of hair behind one of her tiny ears.
"I love you Anthony." Had he heard right? She loved him? Nobody had ever told him that before.
Especially not a little girl.
He was loved.
It felt.......wonderful......
Somebody cared.
He gave her a final hug and kiss on her forehead before leaving.
"Don't shut me out anymore, k? He had told her about Dylan. It had taken quite a long time to inform her
about it. Note after Note. Of course he had left out the part about him
being an assassin. It had taken some thought, but he had managed.
He changed into his night clothes and turned out the lamp. As he lay there,
he thought about Dylan. He thought about Carrie. He loved both of these
women very dearly. He was so confused though. Caroline needed a family.....or maybe a father at least. Could he fill the
job?

"Dylan?"
"Talk to me."
"Hey, it's Alex. Um....how are you?"
"I'm fine Alex. Watcha need?"
"I was just calling to say hi. I really need to tell you something."
She had promised to herself that she wouldn't, but..........
"You sound different. Is everything OK?"
"Yeeeeeah" she stuttered out."Everythings fine."
"Then, uh, what do you need to tell me."
"I.........I.......I have something for you."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It's a Valentines Day gift, for you."
"Did you call me just for that?"
"Yes. I'm not a person that likes surprises. So....I couldn't wait."
"Oh."
"Well. Just thought you might like to know."
"Yeah.....thanks. I'll talk to you later."
"Yeah. You too. Bye Dylan."
"Bye."
She hung up. '
Why didn't I tell her? Why?'
She had been thinking about it all day. 'I can't just tell her but I should......he told me not too. Hey. How can I trust him anyway? Oh get a grip Alex. He saved you and Dylan. How could you
not trust him after that? Even if he is a little strange.'
She mused to herself. "Oh. God. Fine. I can hold out a little longer before it comes out. Oh I hope I do the right thing. For everyone's sake.
