Stunning

It's a well-known fact that Macey McHenry was stunning.

If she were a mathematical equation, scientists would devote their entire life to ogle her. If she was a type of clothing, everyone would want to buy her. The worst part is that Macey's not a math problem or clothes, yet there are many men who do nothing but stare when she's around and there are many agencies willing to bribe her service.

It's a little-known fact that Macey McHenry's life sucks.

Yet Jonas Mackie is very aware of that fact, mainly because he's the very one who deduced it. After years of observation, he was absolutely sure of it - so of course he set out to change it. No one deserved to have a suck-ish life, even if he himself was only a tech nerd and not a raging superstar like Macey herself; so what if he couldn't do anything? Trying sure counted.

She turned twenty five, he was the only one who remembered. He congratulated her on a Level Thirteen mission completed successfully, she shot him a smile that took his breath away. Maybe there's something alive in this stunning girl yet. He chatted with her in the office any chance he could. It took her a while, but she eventually returned his calls and emails and they became solid friends.

The day comes where Jonas, in all his bushy-haired spectacled glory, can't resist. He kisses her, his best friend Macey McHenry, and even though she's practically infamous and brilliant and glowing - all around stunning - she kisses him back with everything she's got. (she'll realize he's all she ever had.)

Liz faints when she hears they're together, and Macey scowls as she sits in the hospital next to her friend, her brilliant "sister" who never really grew up. Jonas had been her first boyfriend. Now he was going to be Macey's last - that was the plan, anyway, but would life be any fun if it went according to plan?

She comes back from one mission with five inches of her long black hair gone and lines under her eyes. He saw the scars but didn't ask, and he didn't stop her when she grabbed his arm and they ran - flew, actually. She gave him a fake passport on the plane and he hadn't yet spoken, but he didn't need to. She was scared. That's all that mattered.

Then he's Jackie Meza, and she's Milly Mackenzie, and apparently they've been married two years (she had the rings to boot) and the CIA will never find them. Instead, the Circle of Cavan will find them.

They were at home.

"Will you," he began, on one knee in front of her, "Macey McHenry, marry m-"

He was cut off as the Circle agents knocked them both over the head.

She woke up in a cell, her face streaked with tears as she whispered, "Yes," into his mane of curly hair. He never woke up, but she smacked his glasses back on his face and rocked him side to side anyway, because she knew she'd done this when she ran from the CIA. This was her fault.

She laughed as she cried, she laughed as she died because the geek did get the girl after all.
