Don't worry Alisa, I realized who Calderon was before I contacted him. My approach was nothing but strategic and professional, and he's agreed to assist. I appreciate you looking out for me, but I ain't stupid. I did my homework babe.
Tonight, I took the little rebel out of the castle for good. Hardly had to convince her to venture so far out since she's been locked down for a while now. I straight up was like yo, princess. You wanna runaway together? She thought about it for a bit man, had me on edge. Thought I was gonna have to knock her out or some shit and explain later. I'm kidding. Kinda?
We're at that inn I told you about, just waiting for Calderon James Lynch, Esq., or whatever he calls himself. She's asleep next to me, actually. Like, in her own bed. Next to my bed. But not like pushed together? but we're still close enough I could reach out and touch her if I wanted. It's takin everything I got not to go over there an hold her. I wanna be the one that spoils her, man. I want something real with her, a life outside of this fucking cursed existence. She's my dim ray of hope in this darkness.
We talked about our pasts again tonight, shared some stories and scars. I saw the ghosts haunting her eyes, and I want to chase them away. I want to be the one she trust and can lean on, but, how can she after what I'm about to do. I wish I could run away with her, but for now, I got a mission to finish.
Keep an ear to the ground for me, Al. If shit goes sideways, Imma need you to bail me out.
