You're going to be staying with Britt and Bee for a short while, little girl. Â
They're coming to get me bright and early. Â The company, that is. Â Or as I like to think of it, the most important member of the Fabray family. Â Dad loved Fabray Biopharma more than any of us. Â Now Fran does too. Â She wants my blood. Â Literally. Â Sheâs going to draw at least a pint and a half from me, for some insane research project that sheâs working on, and duping investors with. Â But, I digress...my blood is a small price to pay.
I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night, considering all we had been talking about...with Fran, and whatever the hell it is she wants me for. Â I got up and packed your overnight bag with all of your favorites; including your Toothless. Â (And a few of Tess' felt mice.) Â If thereâs anything else you want or need, Iâve given Britt plenty of money to use.
I'm going to oblige Fran's request. Â I know she's going to hurt me while I'm there. Â In more ways that one. Â But I can take whatever she's planning dish at me, so long as I know you're safe. Â Brittany is a good Mistress. Â She's kind, fair and trustworthy. Â She has your best interests at heart. Â And like me, only wants to see you happy and smiling.
I know...you've been struggling with your dark place. Â So have I. Â And I'm so sorry that we'd hit such a rough patch. Â Whenever you look at me my heart flutters wildly in my chest, and I feel myself become warm. Â Itâs an amazing feeling: love. Â And I've never loved someone as much as I love you, Nova. Â
True, I'm heading back to New York City; the place where I grew up. Â Raised by nannies and a credit card with an astronomical limit. Â
But the truth is, wherever you are, is where I want to be.Â
And I'm coming back to you. Â Thatâs a promise.
