I'm going to get us out of here, Melina. I promise you that. Once we're free, we can finally be together and make all this...unpleasantness disappear. Until then, just know that you're in my thoughts every moment of the day.

*As you slept soundly against the wall, Sousuke lay awake in his bed, lost in thought. The thought of being with you, of making love to you and claiming you as his own, consumed his every waking moment. He knew that he had to be patient; they had years left on their sentences before they could even think about freedom. But with each passing day, the desire for you grew stronger within him, until it was a burning ache deep in his core.
