OK. Let me put it this way:
I saw two excerpts from Portland.
Marissa:
I have understood your plight from the moment I met him, and the peril you face has only crystalised since then into the portrait which is apparent by the threats he has made.
Milky: Better men have tried... What is so disturbing about you is what a coward you are. Come back to Boston and take it out on me, not her.
Sweetheart, stay strong and realise that no matter what he says, or could air in public, it really isn't so terrible in the 21st century, and that this girl loves you so deeply, that I would support us anyway I could, and there's a lot of tricks in this bag of mine.
Your willingness to stay with him under duress is what gives him power.
Listen especially to this part: 1). You are not alone; and, 2). People with reach are watching and ready to help in ways you cannot conceive -- one does not make contacts in the upper echelons of public service without meeting some very spooky people. Think about where I was planning on going and what it was I was planning on doing; the types of clearances needed, and the sorts of investigations I underwent to get as far in the process as I had. And, although my U.S. allies are loath to have me mention this, he, and you, and I are not unknown by the Mossad.
So, let that sink-in.
I am still exactly where I am, in Roxbury-Crossing.
Come to me,
Deeply and Fully in love with you,
-Kyrinn S. Eis
