A thrill surged through Mark. He’d found the book by accident, while using Sarah's laptop. His partner, Jane, had been pouring her heart onto the pages. He was the main character.

He’d read a few chapters, and was completely hooked. The story was well written, and full of heartfelt devotion. His smile was so wide, it felt like it hurt.

He felt the need to shout from the rooftops. To tell the whole world. But he knew he couldn’t. He must wait for Jane to reveal her secret. A grin stretched across his face. He'd never been this happy.
