Dear Diary, I made a new friend but lost him. He died helping me rob a traveling man. He got stabbed by him and I took his wallet just before I buried him. It contained 3 dollars and a picture of his beautiful wife and children, and him. I kept it all in memory of him so that it'll remind me of the brief friendship we shared. So the next morning Maggie was concerned and asked Paul ''Darling why haven't you been to bed?.'' He replied ''I have some bad news about Hank and he died late yesterday evening.'' Maggie with tear-filled eyes said "What happened?'' then Paul explains to Maggie that Hank died while trying to help rob the unknown traveler, Paul tells Maggie ''Some good came out of it.'' However, Maggie said ''How?'' then Paul said to Maggie ''I got you a horse and his name is Lightning'' and Maggie said to Paul ''That's sweet, but I don't care about that! All I need is you, Paul!.'' Although Maggie was sad for Hank, at the same time she was so happy that Paul wasn't harmed. Maggie kissed Paul, and one thing led to another, and they made love in a fit of passion. That night Maggie had sat down at the table and writes in her diary.
