“I think it’s too late for that,” Glenn said. “I think now we’ve got to do damage control.”

“Which is?” I asked.

“Getting rid of the bad guy,” he said. “I’m going to help you out with that. Just let me know if anything new happens on your end, and I’ll keep you in the loop with mine.”

“Deal.”

We shook hands as though we were making a business deal, and I turned my attention back to my coffee. I did feel better after talking to Glenn about my situation, and I hoped that he would be helpful in resolving it.

I didn’t want to admit that I was in over my head, but there was a good chance that it had happened without me even realizing it. I had fallen hard for Iris, I knew that, and if it was plain enough for Glenn to see, then it had to be even harder than I thought.

That meant that I had to figure out a way to get this to work. I didn’t know if there was a chance, but I did know I would try. I had to try. It was the only way I could think of us having a chance at happiness together.

For the first time in my life, I felt that there could be a happily ever after in my future, and I was willing to do anything it took to make it happen.

Iris was one in a million, and fate had brought us back together. I just knew it. But this time, I was smarter. This time I wasn’t going to let her just walk away from me. This time I would tell her how I felt and why she should stay.

This time I would put it all on the line and let her be the one to make the choice of staying or going – but this time she would have to choose me rather than the club. I didn’t want to let her go, and I would make that clear to her. I just hoped that she felt the same.

It was risky, but it was a risk I was willing to take. I had to.

I was in love.
