Can walked into the house, poured a whiskey, thinking to himself, how would he be able to talk Sanem into leaving. He dialed her number, and he took a deep breath when he heard her voice.

"Can, are you ok?"

"Sanem, I, I"

"I know Can, I am worried also." she paused

"If something were to happen to you now because of Huma. You are just now coming back into my life, if something were to happen to you."

"Can, I am stronger now but I understand what you are saying. I am afraid of what they might do also."

They were both silent, the seconds dragging on between them.

"Listen I talked to Mirhiban and I have decided it might be best if I am not in Istanbul." She could hear him suck in a breath. "I am setting up a couple of book readings, that way the terrible trio will think we are still apart. Then, I am going to take a few days away so that you can deal with Huma and Fabri."

"Ah, Sanem"

"No, Can, I am a distraction for you, if I am here you will be worried about me. If you know I am safe then you can take care of business. Mirhiban and Deniz are going with me so I won't be alone and we can talk everyday."

"No, I agree. I was actually going to talk to you about that tonight. But, to hear you say it, I can't lose you again." "You won't. I not leaving you Can, just the situation."

"When are you leaving?'"

"Tomorrow afternoon, we will drive for a day and stop and rest then continue on to the readings." she was silent again "I also made plans to visit Emir and his wife for a couple of days." Can was silent "I know you will be safe with him. Have you told him what is going on?"

"No, I will when I get there. I will explain it to him face to face. He will watch over us."

"Good, I know, from what you have told me they love you like a daughter so I know you will be ok with them."

"Can, I love you, take care of this for the last time so that we can finally be together." "I will, just know, Baba and Emre are behind me. Emre is finsihed with her now. If it even matters she is about to lose both sons."

They talked for a few more minutes, Can's heart was a mix between sad and happy, he knew this was for the best, was even going to try and talk her into leaving but the heaviness he felt would stay with him until she was back.
