I must be crazy I have no reason to stick around, really There’s a life waiting for o and find it But I’ve spent so long wanting to build o One look at Mr Harris will ain It doesn’t matter how much Rachel hurts me, or how ain so long as I have hope

I know it’s no way to live, but it feels like I don’t have a choice My feelings have chained me to this house, to Mr Harris It’s like he’s a part of me, and if I try to cut him out, my body will die

How can these feelings be so strong? I barely know the man He’s my boss, not my friend, and certainly not my lover But there’s potential there Does he feel the sparks flying between us every time we cross paths? Does he realize how much I want him, despite all the obstacles in our way?

It’s never e I know Rachel just wants hiood looks and his money, but it runs deeper for me I can’t explain it It’s not a want, it’s a need I feel tethered to hi his to disappear, for hio He doesn’t even know the effect he has on h I have to know if he wants me or not so that I can move on with my life

The next tih nerves get the better of me every time I see hi a dreaether I kno unlikely it is that we’ll ever work We have very different lives, but I think we can h, none of that will matter But I can’t speak for him, I don’t even know if he res are as deeply rooted as they can possibly be I know that I want thisin the world

I’ve suffered to chase this feeling, but I won’t suffer anye to putto rock the boat Rachel will hateat anyone, but him And if Mr Harris doesn’t feel the sa to take My heart has long been on the line It’s time for me to take a leap of faith

It’s time to show Mr Harris what he really means to me

Last night, I lay awake in bed, thinking about the clause and about Amelia It feels like I’ve run out of options I have twenty-nine days left to find a woman I want to marry, and the only woman I’ll ever want is A Even if she’s attracted toelse? She could have anyone she wants in this entire world Why would she settle for an older man like me when she can have a man in his prime?

I know that I’m not unattractive As I hop out of the shower and stand naked before the s wo are of forty-one I don’t think I look ray in my hair I know that I’d easily be able to attract soe

But Airl spends every day working herself to the bone around here, and still, she’s perfect No frown lines crease her face Her body is curvaceous and sexy, but she walks around here with her head down, like she has no idea how beautiful she is Maybe she doesn’t I want to be the man who makes her realize just how incredible she is I want to be around her all the tiood ords, but I want to show her withshe should feel all the ti and make her body tremble with pleasure
