He had to comply. She had the lock and key when it came to conversations about their relationship. Once she had put the lock-in, she threw away the key and he had to comply. One more month, he thought, four more weeks of chances, so he let it go for the time being.
Lucas took her clothes and left her to finish up in the bathroom. By the time she was done, he was gone. Patrick's body was gone. He had told her to leave as soon as she was ready, he said he would take care of everything. All the other details, she didn't have to know.

She dropped Kevin back at her mother's house. On the way to John's set, she stopped at La Lune. It's been two weeks and she hasn't heard from Lucas. She wanted to know how he was doing.The place was full as usual. The minute his staff saw her coming, they
They held it together as best they can. Two weeks went by like a blink of an eye. Neither one of them was their usual happy self. He held her hand everywhere they went and kissed it every now and again. Those who knew him can see how terrified he was as the last day of shooting was approaching.
