He was standing in front of the window, looking out the night sky and the city below.Restlessly, he paced through the length of his office trying to will his heart to calmness. He's always been a man who knows his mind and is not afraid to make hard decisions even when it seemed an impossible feat. Starlight Laboratories is a product of what was once deemed an impossible venture. He did the work, stayed up late most nights and skipped a lot of meals to bring his dreams to reality. But, if he was being honest, the laboratory was not actually his dream but the dream of Estelle, his one true love. He remembers the first time he ever saw her. It was a cold day and he was standing in line at a breakfast bar, waiting for a cup of coffee to clear his head and bring the warmth back to his bones when he heard the most incredible sound he'd ever heard in his life....her laughter.

He's brought out of his thoughts by the sound of footsteps coming down the hall and he knew he was out of time. He took the envelope on his desk and hid it in the crack behind the grandfather clock in his office.
Calmly, he sat behind his desk exuding a picture of perfect peace as he watched the door open.......
He felt a ringing in his ears as a shot went through his heart.
His hands quickly found the spot in his chest as he loses his balance and hits the floor. I need to tell her, he thinks as his eyes closes.
I need to tell her,I love her is his final thoughts as he succumbs to the darkness....
