Chapter 176

• " Let's take a walk," he said, taking my hand and leaving the building.
• We took a long walk together, smiling and satisfied at the serenity of our lives. I was happy, we were delighted. I stared at Khai, and a sudden sadness came over me. He wasn't part of the plan. Sooner or later, I'd have to tell him my true intentions for coming here. He'd be heartbroken.
• The rest of the night went well. The next day, I gave him a long kiss, knowing I wouldn't see him for a while. He suddenly turned and smiled at me as he walked out the door.
