Nancy was sitting in her living room rolling the note around in her hand. She had been trying for weeks now to try to push everyone away. It hurt her as much as it did them but she tried to convince herself that she didn't care about them anymore. It wasn't working at all and to make matters when she went to see Elizabeth it pained her being around Anna. It hurt even more seeing how hurt Frank was.

Nancy didn't know if she could continue this charade but she didn't think she could go back. It wasn't possible, she couldn't do that. She was looking through her wedding album as tears streamed down her face. She picked up her phone and dialed Frank's number, he immediately answered, "hello?"

She froze, but finally after a few seconds she managed to form words, "Frank."

"Nan, is something wrong?"

"Can you come here but make sure no one sees you."

"Okay? Give me a few minutes."

"Okay." She hung up the phone and frowned. She bite her lip and took a sip of wine, it was now or never. Nancy didn't think she could survive the never so it had to be now. She downed the glass of wine and filled it back up.

Frank had slipped in through the back door and it didn't take him long to find Nancy. She was sitting with a bottle of wine in front of her and their wedding album opened. He sighed and walked into the room sitting beside her, "Nancy, are you okay?"

"Frank, I owe you a lot of explanations. I can't do this anymore and the outcome scares me." Nancy had tears streaming down her face and the more she talked to more choked up she got. Frank grabbed her hand, "tell me. You can tell me anything."

Nancy took a deep breath and grabbed a piece of paper that was under the album. She handed it to Frank and he grabbed it.

You leave them all or lose them all. Your choice.

Frank looked up with a confused look on his face, "I don't understand we got the bastard."

"He was working with other people. Maybe it's still him. I don't know Frank but I didn't know what else to do. I got it before we got to London."

"But Nan, we got him on our way to London. How do you know it isn't safe?"

"Because, I got a phone call warning me that night and I didn't want to risk it. I hope it is an empty threat. I figured if I played along for a while maybe I wouldn't hear anything else but then I got another warning."

"What was it?"

"Dead blackened roses, what do we do?"

"Nancy, after everything you have done and said. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Look how long it took you to find me, I figured I just better listen and I was so afraid all my senses went out the window."

"You made this believable that is for sure." Frank ran his hands through his hair. He didn't know whether to believe Nancy or if she was just trying to think of a way to take everything back. Frank didn't think Nancy was capable of that but he had to guard himself.

"Frank, I love you so very much. Wait here," Nancy got up and walked over to a desk and grabbed papers. She had tears in her eyes and she stood in front of Frank shaking slightly, "Frank Hardy, I should have trusted you and told you all this sooner. I'm sorry. I know how hard you looked for me and how much you struggled with it. I never thought you were a bad father to Elizabeth and I would have been the same in your situation. We have been through hell this past year almost two years but I wouldn't want another family or husband in a million years. I love you with my whole heart. Please still be my husband."

Nancy was on her knees in front of Frank and she ripped the papers in front of her and handed them to him. Frank glanced at them and noticed that it was the divorce papers. Frank sucked in his breath and wrapped his arms around Nancy, "I love you Nancy. You will always be my wife and always have my heart."

Nancy smiled and kissed him with so much depth and passion that any doubts that Frank might have had about this was erased completely. After they finally decided to come up for air, Frank kissed her head, "don't worry baby, we will figure this out. We will stay safe. I love you and I refuse to lose you ever again."

"I'm sorry for everything I have put us all through. Can you take me to Anna and Joe's?"

"You want to sneak out and keep the charade up?"

Nancy bit her lip thinking for a minute and shook her head, "no Frank, what happens we will face it as a family. I should have done this from the beginning." Frank swept her up and kissed her again rubbing his hands over her body, "I think we can wait a few minutes before dashing off."

Sorry everyone I know this is short! But I wanted to post this ASAP, I know some of you are upset/worried about how Nancy is acting. I didn't want to leave you hanging for a few days. I have a busy week ahead of me but I'm hoping to get another chapter up in a day or two! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! It keeps me going! ENJOY! XO
