I pulled on heels and I did my hair and make up and I walked out of the bathroom and Rio was gone. I walked downstairs and the kids were playing outside with Tina. I left sending Tina a message. I met up with Beth and the girls and we left we were following a hitman. 

RUby:I'd feel a whole lot better if he carried a wallet

We drove following him still. 

Ruby:Oh my god its a school

Annie:oh no no no no no

Ruby:its a chello

Beth:Uh oh

He started walking over to the van. 

Annie:we should get outta here

Me:how

Ruby:he's already seen us

He knocked on the window with a gun. 

Annie:Alright fine open it

She opened it

Beth:I didn't know your daughter went here

Man:why you following me

Beth:um just curious about the state of our lawsuit

Man:its not moving forward

Beth:we already paid for it

Annie:yea and you billed us for more

Man:if you refer the article three of the contract you signed I have the right to terminate due to breech

Ruby:How did we breech

Man:Failure to disclose the nature of your relationship with the target 

I looked at beth

Beth:what does that mean

Man:Who boned him

Beth:Why does it matter

Man:I dont do guilty lovers

Beth:no one was guilty

Annie:cmon man it was one and done

I looked down 

Beth:so this is where you draw your line

Man:crimes of passion get messy

Beth:again the more passion

Man:clients have.. regrets

Beth:we're not paying for this

Man:you dont want this on your conscience

He walked away. 

Me:Did he just threaten you?

Beth:Yes

We left. 

Later that night

I pulled to the house and I walked in and it was quiet. I walked upstairs and looked in the girls room they were asleep. I walked into my bedroom and rio was in bed. I changed and got in bed.

Rio:Whats wrong?

I looked at him. 

Me:She loves you

Rio:Who?

Me:Beth she loves you

Rio:is that why you were with her today?

I nodded. 

Me:I dont know what to do anymore and I can't lie to you Rio

I turned looking at him. 

Me:I love you in my heart I love you with everything I have I love my children that you gave me and this life you provide me with but I dont think your different

Tears rolled down my cheeks. 

Me:Your not the man I fell in love with, he sweet and protective and caring man the man who let my daughter call him dad and who I fell so deeply in love with I said yes when he proposed to me who took me away from this awful place and to a beautiful place and also and imaginary place made of *smiles* legos

He smiled

Me:But then you left an you came back cold and dark and mean. I dont even recognize you, you scare me Rio this version of you scares me and I just can't do it anymore the business the killing the money all of it. But.....I dont want to leave you 

He pulled me close putting his arm around me wiping my tears. 

Rio:I'm gonna change I promise cause your the only one who sees me for me and for that I will always love you

I smiled and he kissed me. 

Rio:Why do you think I married your crazy a** in the first place

I chuckled and we laid down. I laid my head on his chest and listened to the steady sound of his heartbeat. He rubbed my back and spoke lowly. 

Rio:I'm serious, I love you

Me:I'm serious too I love you 

He kissed my head and we drifted to sleep.
