I have to tell her. I will tell her—very soon.
Evan sat in his downstairs office with Randi's cham-
pion farter dog, wondering when in the hell he was going to
tell her that he was her mystery emailer. He wanted to, he
needed to, but what if they couldn't communicate as well
face-to-face as they did via email? What if she panicked?

animalistic urges he kept experiencing to claim her—hard
