“I have thought it over. The offer to work for the FBI is very tempting. Living with you, well…let’s just say you have totally captured my imagination, Mister Marin. You’ve taken my desires to an entirely new level. You’ve made me feel beautiful when I doubted my self-image, and I feel joy like I’ve never experienced before. You’ve given that to me. When you could have any woman, I didn’t understand why me, and you showed me why. The second night we saw each other you looked into my eyes and told me what you saw within me was trouble and pain. I think I’ll always be trouble and the pain is there to let me know I’m alive. But, what you’ve shown me is that it’s okay. I’m not afraid. I’m changed because of you and for that I’ll forever be grateful.”
“Where are you going with this Alexandra? Are you saying…no?”
Resting her warm, delicate hands on his face, she teased, “Silly man, no, of course not, at least not for now. I have to decide if having a career or living out my wildest desires with the man I love is worth…”
“Worth what?”
Tears filled her eyes.
“Living a life of total exhaustion.”
“What do you mean?”
“I want both, a career by day and you by night.”
He laughed. “I see your point. I guess we’ll have to figure it out as we go along.”
“I know. Lots of Cheese Doodles and Cherry Coke, and chocolate, and oh thick juicy steaks with baked potato and sour cream, and maybe some spaghetti and meatballs thrown in for good measure…”
“Oh for the love of God, Alexandra...shut up. You talk too much,” he murmured. He cupped her face and his mouth captured hers. “I love you, prinţesa.”
“I love you too.”

About the Author
Cynthia resides in Orlando, Florida, the land of magic, surrounded by the treasured gems in her life, a caring, loving husband, dutiful and loyal daughter, and precious, delightful granddaughter. Oh and not to forget her mischievous Yorkshire Terrier, Thumper.
Cynthia was a “Navy Brat” calling a different port home every couple of years—from Southern California, to Boston, to Virginia, to Florida and many other places in-between. She developed wandering feet and diverse interests which she passionately incorporates those experiences into her stories, bringing characters to life, and eloquently sharing the vivid images of her mind with her audience.
Cynthia worked as a real estate broker for over twenty years before retiring to Florida. Several years ago, she turned to writing to stretch her creative muscles. Those ideas of faraway places and quirky characters lay dormant for years and finally demanded their stories be told.
Cynthia plans on putting some mileage on those wandering feet and travel to exotic locations in the coming years. So look for the journeys to be expressed in Romantic Words by Cynthia in the future. She can be found here:
