Run, Baby Run

Chapter Ten: Part Two

"This past month I have been rehearsing..this might sound foolish but I need you in my life."

Ryan began sincerely. Lacey couldn't help but feel a spark of hope that Ryan still loved her as he once did. She knew it was wrong but somethings she just couldn't control.

"I couldn't stop thinking about what I did to you, how I took his words over yours. How stupid was I?.. I need you to forgive give me, to trust me before I go further."

His blue eyes pleaded. Sighing Lacey slumped her shoulders. Could she really trust him again? Deep down she knew the answer but pulling on a brave face she spoke a white lie. He needed to hear that she did before he could offer his plan and at that moment Lacey needed his help.

"I forgive you, Ryan."

A sigh of relief washed over his face and he didn't realized that she had just told him the first lie in all the years they knew each other.

"I thought you would never.."

Ryan breathed. Lacey bite her lip to stop her from blurting out the truth. Of course she didn't forgive him! How thick headed was he?

"Ryan, now tell me how you are going to help me."
