TWENTY-SIX We're always saying goodbye. I hope you understand this, why I had to do this. You told me you want to know the x factor, the unknown, and I'm the only one who can find it for you. My mission is to serve you and, as always, you're right. We do have to know. The next stage of this is too critical. I cannot have you hooked up to the system and then find out too late. Don't worry about Z, he won't know we're apart for a while. Not until I go back to him. There's something I have to do first. Someone I have to talk to. I don't know how long it will take. I don't know how long we'll be apart. Just know I love you. I always love you. Every minute of every day and still it doesn't feel like enough. There are no words, LR. No words capable of conveying how I live for you. Stay with
