[Private to Mireille Duroc]

Mireille? Are you all right? It's getting late.

[He's thought a long, long time about doing this. In a way he wishes he could avoid it, but there's something about seeing the sickeningly sweet quasi-romance Jean Louis and Mireille have been making oh so public recently has hardened his resolve. In theory, he has nothing against the idea of there being some necessary lies in any relationship, ( Read more... )

So it was temporary. Ah well. We have survived before. It was... nice for once though.

[A pause]

But it seems our dear captors are throwing us a party of sorts. And without any apparent catch. I don't suppose there is anyone who would wish an escort to the festivities?
