I ran my fingers through her long dark red hair and she turned with a warm smile. I bent and kissed her and whispered:

"I love you Inessa,"

"I love you too," She whispered back, her soft voice floating in the air like a pleasant melody.

I stared into those beautiful verdant eyes for a moment, almost getting lost in them like I have so many times before smiling again and going to the kitchen to grab a drink.

"How was work today, darling?" She asked me.

"Same as it's ever been but i'm not complaining," I said as I looked in the refrigerator," What did you do today?"

"Exercised. Did some planting and now i'm just writing in my diary as you could see,"

"Sounds like a relaxed day. Thermo?"

"Please,"

I came back into the living room, handing her the drink, our fingers grazing against each other before I sat down next to her and put an arm around her waist.

"Take a look," She propped her dairy into my lap.

I read it through and it couldn't be more of a pleasant read even if some of it was about menial things. She had an economy with words and used them so efficiently I often told her she should be a writer but she always waves me off in a joking manner. But there was one thing that caught my eye and made me look at her in a somber way.

"Do you really think you should include Pasha and Polina?"

"Why not? We live alone out here in the wild and we rarely have visitors. We certainly don't have records with the police and have no reason to come under suspicion. You ask me, Grisha, you're being a little too paranoid," She said with a toss of her luscious dark red hair.

A small tic she always did to let me know she was annoyed.

But that was too fucking bad.

"Wouldn't it be a hell of a thing if we finally got our revenge and then it comes undone because of one small article of evidence?" I said as I sipped my Thermo.

"Details in a notebook are hardly going to be as impactful as you think besides what we done, Grisha. If by some off the wall chance that we do get caught, it won't matter one bit, will it?" She pointed out.

I thought long and hard about it. Enough of a space of time to make Inessa think too. I finally nodded in agreement.

"Fine. You could have this little thing then but just...don't leave it laying out in the damn open, okay?" I said as I looked into her soulful eyes.

The corner of her lip curved into a crooked smile and she tilted her head as if to say, come on now, you should know me by now. It made me feel stupid but I had to say it anyways to get my point across with her.
