I’ll become the paper-pushing insurance salesman next door and earn her trust. Make her my wife. She’ll never find out she’s married to a hitman. She’ll never know I spend my days following her.

We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays. Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.
