Mark's Pov

It has been two weeks since the note from Amy's dad. Carl found us a couple places we can move too, I need to keep her safe. Thank god Pasty's horrible marks are gone, Linda took the fake skin off of her last night.

"There you are," Amy said walking into my office.

"Don't you look perfect in my shirt," I said looking up at her.

"I have shorts on but the shirt is so long you can't tell." She hopped up on my desk.

"It's okay. How is your neck?"

"Much better now that it doesn't feel like someone put gorilla tape on me." She rubbed her neck.

"I am so sorry about that."

"It's okay, you needed to do it to protect me and I thank you for that. So what is the agenda for today?"

"I have a meeting off-site then I am all yours."

"I like the second part." Her smile took up her face.

"Have you thought about your special room?"

"A little."

"Just let me know and I will have it built."

She nodded her head, her smile disappeared.

"When do you leave?"

"Soon."

"How long will you be gone?"

"4 hours."

"Who is it with?"

"Sam, you met him at the dinner for like two seconds."

"Do you trust him?"

"Yes, not with my life and definitely not yours."

"So, that's a no."

"Yeah, it's a 100% no. Did you eat yet?"

"Do you mean the tray of food you left on the dresser? Yes, thank you."

"Just making sure your eating."

She jumped down from the desk and sat on my lap.

"How is your arm healing?"

"Better since it is in a cast, thank you for making sure I got a cast on it."

"I just asked about it."

"And that's all I needed." I pulled her in for another kiss. "I can kiss you all day."

She let out an innocent giggle.

"I hate to leave but I need to get to this meeting."

"The faster you leave the faster you will come back."

"Yep, maybe I can get you more ice cream?"

"Please don't go out of your way for it. I don't want you to get busted."

"I will be okay, I can just put a hat on and no one knows who I am."

I stood up with her still wrapped around me.

"I am going to talk to Missy, she is going to help me pick some stuff out for the room." She said as I put her down.

"That will be fun, I already told her that whatever you want you get."

"Thank you, I feel bad though I want to help."

"You do help, you help by keeping me sane." I kissed the top of her head. "I will be back in about 4 hours."
