Everything in it is entirely imaginary and intended only for entertainment; I created it for fun. I did not write 50 Shades darker or any of its characters, and I do not own them.
Chapter 3
The one good thing about being car-less is that on the bus on my way to work, I can plug my headphones into my iPad while it's safely in my purse and listen to all the wonderful tunes Harry has given me. By the time I arrive at the office, I have the most ludicrous grin on my face.
Jack glances up at me and does a double-take.
"Good morning, Lou. You look . . . radiant." His remark flusters me. How inappropriate!
"I slept well, thank you, Jack. Good morning." His brow crinkles.
"Can you read these for me and have those reports on them by lunchtime, please?" He hands me four manuscripts. At my horrified expression, he adds, "Just first chapters."
"Sure," I smile with relief, and he gives me a broad smile in return.
I switch on the computer to start work, finishing my tea, and eating a banana. There's an e-mail from Harry.

I am eating a banana as I type. I have not had breakfast for several days, so it is a step forward. I love the British Library App—I started rereading Robinson Crusoe . . . and of course, I love you.
Now leave me alone—I am trying to work.

You can do better than that. You're going to need your energy for begging.
