"Computer, start recording.

I've just been given a horse, it's on Earth but it's all mine. She's called Angel, after my daughter. My husband gave her to me after we went to his ranch for dinner, I thought he was feeding the 5000. Why he did it I just don't know, he said he needed to show me how much he loves me. But he doesn't need to show me anything, not any more.

After four years of finding each other, we trust each other and know how the other feels. He still misses Catlin, I don't think he'll ever get over her. But in his own way, he has room for me. Lucky I'm not the jealous type, how do you win against a memory? My Gary has learned over our time together, that we can talk our problems away. Do we still argue? Oh yeah, we have some real doozies. But in the end we find a solution by talking.

I will have to find something to return his gift, he has a horse, a ranch, and Lord knows what else. I can think of one thing he'd like, but it might involve our resident CMO. After we're finished playing pirates and rebels, I will have to grab a word with him.

Computer, save log and place in my personal file."
