Thomas never felt that Miranda was stupid. In fact she was one of the smartest and bravest women he knew. Even understood her need to want to forget what happen between them. More than anything he wanted to do the same but knew that wouldn’t change what he did.<br/><br/>“It would not make feel better, But you should hate me,for what I did.  Miranda.” He saw there watching her sag to the floor. Every fiber of his being wanted to take her in his arm and comfort her. But he had no right. Not anymore.<br/><br/>“That’s true and not something I would want to happen to you. But I brought the memory on by my actions. Another thing I’m deeply sorry for.” Thomas knew that she was right. Yet it did change the fact that he brought on the memory of the torture and rape the she endured.<br/><br/>“Yeah right up until you said Brently name you were willing after I lost my temper. You wanted it to stop and I didn’t” He sneered. “I’m just like Richard taking what should be taken.” Shaking his head. This was getting them now where. They were indeed beating a dead horse. He sighed she said that she wasn’t hungry. Really neither was he for that matter he realized. Thomas threw the food away and cleaned the kitchen while Miranda packed. When she was ready he carried her suit cases to her purple mustang and put them in the trunk for her. There were no words between them all they could say had been said. It took three hour for them travel down the mountain, Miranda in her car and Thomas in his charger.<br/><br/>Brettly had been pacing in his office ever since he got the text form Thomas. Wondering what it meant. Wondering where Miranda could be. Why hadn’t Thomas said where he thought Miranda might be. He knew why. Because Thomas didn’t want to be another wild goose chase, Brettly thought.  Like when they both went to Miranda and his private island to look for her. Only when he saw  her come through the door on the monitor of his lap top did he stop. Quickly he went to the front door and wrapped his arms around her.<br/><br/>“ I have been so worried about you” He hug her tight. Never wanting to let her go.
