The last time she was drifting off to sleep, his lips kept grazing hers tenderly.
"Maja."
"Maja."
Maja felt a blush creep up her cheeks. The day had been utterly absurd.
"Stop calling out."
Her voice was raspy, betraying both her exhaustion and the surreal bubble of happiness enveloping her.
"I want to call out to you, just to say your name a few more times."
"Maja, I love you."
"Ian, I really can't take this anymore."
Her words were choked, stuck in her throat.
Ian watched her face quietly as she slipped into slumber.
Outside, a tempest raged, and through a slightly ajar window, the night air wafted in, causing the curtains to billow.
The downpour seemed endless, and Ian, tireless, kissed every inch of her, her body reacting fervently even in dreams.
After bathing her and drying her hair, it was already 7 a.m. the following morning.
The relentless rain continued, accompanied by the occasional clap of thunder.
Ian couldn't resist kissing her again as he watched her peaceful face.
In her dreams, Maja felt her cheeks dampen, a warm liquid that soon turned cold.
She struggled to awaken, but the past two days with Ian had been too wild.
She felt happiness, a deep, bone-deep contentment.
Before she drifted off, she wanted to reciprocate Ian's declaration.
She wanted to say, "I love you, I love only you, so stop being jealous of others."
But she never got the chance to say it.
With another thunderous roar, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
It was Fitch.
"Ian, the man's outside waiting."
Ian tensed up, gripping Maja's hand tightly.
In her dream, Maja squeezed back.
He picked her up and headed downstairs.
Fitch, standing in the hallway with a cigarette, said nothing, sensing the heavy weight Ian carried.
They both felt invincible, whether in Greenfield or North America, their power was undeniable.
Yet the world was vast, unimaginably so.
Even a single entity like BK had unfathomable strength behind it.
And the research base, a gathering of geniuses, what sort of place was that?

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
