NICK

I am holding John down with a tight grip on the floor. There is no way that he is getting away. I need answers and I need them now. I asked him why he did it and I am waiting for an answer but it looks like he is hard headed.

"I am not going to say it again. Why the fuck did you do it?!"

Suddenly, he spits to the floor next to him and says.

"Why would I even answer you?"

I did not even give him a chance to finish his sentence when I punch him with a hard right hook. I can see that it hurts on his face but he smiles as he looks at me. I realize that this is going to be a long and fun session.

I have not liked John ever since I have seen him and now I am going to show him how much I did not like him. So, I give him another right hook because I know that he is not a soldier but just the ordinary coward that thinks he is above everyone else. This time the smile struggles to come through but he gives it his best try. I can see blood coming from his nose as I am sure my hook was too much for him to handle.

"So, do you think you want to tell me why? I think I know what the answer is but I would like to hear it from your filthy mouth so that I can have a reason to beat you up"

I can feel even more anger residing in my heart as I see him just staring at me trying to play the bad boy. But I am ready to show him who the bad boy is.

"You do not fucken deserve her!"

This time it is me that is smiling. Then I say to him.

"Let me just understand this, you think you deserve her? You must be delusional"

"She will see through you. She will know that she misses me. You are just a fake!"

I almost can not believe how deep his delusions are. He thinks that he has a chance with Kim. I quickly release him and then we both stand up. He takes his hand to his face and wipes the blood from it.

"So you decided to burn down our venue because Kim will see the truth and come back to you?"

I have to calm myself completely because I just want to kill him. I patiently wait for him to answer.

"I just needed a bit more time with her and she would see the truth!"

I do not know if I should be mad or if I should laugh. I know that I can make John handicap right now and he will not be able to do things the way he used to. But it is as if a calmness comes over me. I realize that Kim has truly changed my life and even my attitude.

Usually, this would be a no brainer. I will make sure that I beat him up well and that he would be out of commission for a few weeks. But now, I kind of feel sorry for him. I am so glad that we had a wonderful wedding and everything has turned out perfectly.

When I look at him I see a man that has lost the best woman in the world and wanted to win her back by doing something that is just unthinkable. I smile and shake my head as I turn around to walk out of the house.

I realized that I have the perfect woman waiting for me back home in our bed. She needs me more now than what he desert right now. But just as I am about to leave I hear him say.

"Where do you think you are going?"

The smile on my face is now a grin and then I turn around and say.

"I am going back to the woman that you lost and she is waiting for me in our bed"

I see his face turning instantly blood red and then I turn around and walk out the door. I know that he hates me for saying that but I will let the authorities handle it. Just as I am about to open my car door I hear someone approaching.

I turn around and John is running to me. I can not stop the smile on my face because I know how amateur this is. He comes in running with his first and I block him with my arm while giving him a punch in the stomach. This is enough to let him tumble to the ground and then I say.

"If I were you I would just stay down there until I am far far away because if you try this one more time, I will make you regret it"

Then I get into my car and I make my way back to my wife. As I drive away I realized that I am a different person from when Kim met me the first time. I have matured a lot and I realized that I have a beautiful life to look forward to.

I remember how when I got into fights I did not have anything to lose but right now, this second, my life is perfect in every way. As I stop in front of the house, I take out my phone and send a text to Detective Marks.

"I know the guy in the third picture. His name is John Jacobson. I will send you the address now. I know it is him"

Then I close my phone and I make my way back to my wife. She is still sleeping and I quickly take my place next to her. I can not stop myself from kissing her on the forehead as I have missed her so much. I am so happy that John has made such a big mistake of letting her go.

Then I find my peace while I fall asleep.

KIM

I wake up in the arms of the man I love. I can feel myself being extremely tired even though I had a wonderful night's sleep. It is already noon and we are still in bed. I realize that he would be very hungry when he wakes up.

I get out of bed as quietly as possible and then I throw on my robe walking to the kitchen. It is strange to walk around in my mother's house and there is no one. Usually, there would be someone making food or coffee. I swallow deeply as if I want to swallow the painful memories of yesterday away.

But I shake my head as I want to forget about everything and look to our future. My dad is going to be okay and I have a great husband. I take the eggs out of the fridge and start to make some breakfast. It feels kind of good making breakfast for my husband.

I start to wonder how our life is going to look like. Would I be making him breakfast every morning and then he kisses me goodbye as he goes off to work? Or would I kiss him while he makes breakfast and I go off to work? Suddenly, I start to wonder what is Nick going to do now when he is not a Navy Seal?

I do not want to give it much thought as I just want to be happy at the moment. Then I feel someone's arms wrapping around my waist. I put my hand on his hands and then I turn around kissing him.

"This smells so good. But not as good as you..."

"You are so cheesy but I love it"

We laugh as we kiss each other again. Then I turn around again and finish breakfast. He takes his seat at the counter and then we start to eat. We talk about nothing all kinds of nothings. It feels good to just be with each other without thinking about something that is wrong or something that we should do.

Then we go back to get dressed to see my dad. I shower first and then Nick. As I am about to finish dressing I see a note next to the bed. I read it.

"Doc, just went out for a bit. I will be right back. Do not worry. All my love Nick"

I sit on the bed, staring at the note, trying to figure out what I missed. I never saw this note. Then Nick comes out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looks so good with the steam coming from his sculpted abs and chest.

I almost forgot about the note in my hand but then he looks at the note.

"Ah, I see you found the note"

"Yeah? Do you want to explain?"
