Alexander received a video.
Victor sat beside her.
"Bring me the ledger."
Alexander wanted to go alone.
I refused.
"I'm coming."
"No."
"You don't get to decide everything."
His eyes softened.
"You could die."
"So could you."
Silence.
Then he nodded.
"Stay beside me."
We went to an abandoned warehouse.
The rescue became a trap.
Victor had planted explosives.
Alexander pushed me out of the blast zone.
The explosion separated us.
I thought he was dead.
Then I heard his voice.
"Amanda!"
I ran toward him.
He was bleeding.
But alive.
I threw my arms around him.

And he whispered:
"I love you."
