Midmorning I ha一ve a break in meetings. As I pick up the phone to call Kate, I

notice an e-mail from Christian.

Mrs. Grey

I ha一ve received three compliments on my new haircut. Compliments from my

staff are new. It must be the ridiculous smile I’m wearing whenever I think

about last night. You are indeed a wonderful, talented, beautiful woman.

And all mine.
