feel him deep inside of me. I try so hard to hate him. I swear I do. But all that comes are more tears at the thought of him leaving me here.  I told him I was going to leave – to go back to my apartment. He said, “Do as you wish. You’re free to come and go as you please,” - as if he has no feelings for me. My heart absolutely shattered. Then he pulled me close – so close – I could hear the drumming beat of his heart and he said, “There is only one place that you belong to me - where you will do as I tell you to.” And I melted. Just melted … Why do I let him treat me so? Is his allure the danger – or is he really in my heart?
    As I was walking away, I turned around when he wasn’t looking and could see the gentle way he talked to his horse. The genuine affection he has for all animals. The kinship of spirit he feels with them. They’re so wild and untamed like he is. They long for freedom like he has his whole life. I went into this with open eyes. Why does my heart feel so broken without him?
    Yes, I hid behind a tree just to watch him. And yes I am aware how truly pitiful and weird that was. But it was magical just watching him riding. He's so free, with the horse flying up and down the hills. Cash has such mastery over the wild beast, but he connects to these animals on a spiritual level. He understands them. Cash belongs back home. Not stuck in this city. I could tell that he could finally breathe. No matter how he was raised, I see it in him. His wildness. His restlessness. His need to connect to nature. To his heritage. He's so unlike Edward, with his obsessive compulsive stuffiness and obsession with money. Cash has none of that. I long to ask him exactly how he got that scar on his face. It only adds to his mystery. He's fine, strong and true and possesses an inner strength like no man I've ever met before.

    A week later in Angelica's apartment
    "I'm undercover so don't tell anyone that I'm a deputy or that I'm working for the police. Got it?"
    "So they're going to be under the impression that you're some kind of criminal? That'll do a lot for my reputation," Angelica replied. Cash always seemed to be creating another problem for her.
    "Your reputation is the least of your worries. I didn't want to mention this to you, but don't you think that the man who switched cases with you on the train is going to be looking for you?" He hadn't wanted to worry her but she was being so careless that it was safer if she knew.
    Angelica thought long and hard, crinkling her eyes in that cute way that Cash liked. "I suppose I hadn't really thought of it. Well I don't have it obviously. The police have it. So what would it have to do with me for?" Angelica said with a sigh.
    "He doesn't know that you don't have it, does he?"
    Angelica bit her lip self consciously. "I guess I've just been too preoccupied with getting an acting job that I haven't been worrying about it."
    After a minute of mulling it over Angelica replied, "Thanks a lot. Now I've got to worry about memorizing my lines, getting a paying job and that some lunatic is after me." "Thanks for your help," she answered sarcastically, as she gave him a good poke in the shoulder with her long red nails.
    "I said I'd give you a spanking if you ever tried that again," Cash threatened with a laugh.
    "Try it," Angelica replied with defiance in her eyes.
    "Don't think I wouldn't like to, but I have more pressing matters at hand."
    Angelica was just so dizzily exhausted. She'd been working since she was a teenager, every day, trying to save money, trying to pay her own way. She was just so damn tired sometimes, taking care of everything herself, it was too much. Too much responsibility. Sometimes she felt as if she'd be crushed by it. She just wished she and Cash could stop their verbal sparring and he'd just take her in his arms and take care of her. The safety she craved was the only reason she was marrying Edward. It  wasn't for love. It wasn't for his
