"Nick, | know that no matter what you say, you still care about us. Everybody has their ideal life, mine is to spend my remaining life with Elliot. Even if something were to happen to him, | won't die with him, | will find some way to save him," promised Avery.

The bodyguard picked out a dress that exposed her back and had a neckline that goes far below her chest, "This one, boss!"
