ANNA'S VIEW
I decided to keep my promise to Drake and cut the call. I wasn't going to cause a rift between us again with my curiosity or lies. I wanted Drake to always trust me.
It was the best decision I ever made, to back off from tracking down Dan's wife. I gained Drake's admiration and a place in his home with our son. Some time has passed, and everything blew over. There were no threats from the Colonel. Life went swimmingly, almost as normal, until this whole thing about Dan. Drake and I shared a bedroom and made fabulous love every night. It was amazing. Life was wonderful. I regained my deep connection with my son again. I felt bad for Mathew that Drake was detached from him. Drake still had some issues that I promised to never bring up, which I didn't dare to.
Other than that, it was the best couple of weeks of my life. I didn't have Drake's heart, but I did have his steel arms around me at night, which was sufficient.
