The months kept passing and there were some changes in everyday life.

Mark picked up Mandy at home every morning and they rode together to school, as it was always supposed to be. They had their lunches together in some nearby restaurant, not only the ones at the shopping center.

Some times they had one or two of the bodyguards sitting for lunch with them and they chatted and told funny stories.

But most of the time they kept to themselves, because romance doesn´t need distractions. They were never tired of professing their love and planning their life together.

One thing that was already happening were their monthly visits to the farms. They loved to spend time with the grandparents. Mandy and Mark felt in their hearts that someday they would live there as they had dreamed in a not so distant past.

At school, Mark accepted Greg´s presence naturally. He knew it was necessary to be protected when you had as much money as Mandy or Arthur.
