One common request I've gotten from readers over the years is to make my heroes GROVEL MORE, LONGER, HARDER. I can't say I was able to to do that with MIB 2 but I think Anneke and Marcus have spent the LONGEST TIME APART among my couples (even longer than Kyr and Pollyanna), and that in itself is torture of sorts when you're the one who made a mistake (aka Marcus), don't you think?

Marcus: I know you’re reading my messages. Tell me, what must I do so you would at least talk to me?
Anneke: Nothing.
Marcus: And yet you already replied, amore mio.
