Tonight, for I plan to sneak from the party that I shall attend and steal Jessica from her father’s house. I will need the aid of Graziano and Salanio, hopefully they will understand and come to my aid. She has told me that she will to disguise herself as a man, take her father’s jewels and gold. This, this wonderful plan she has, dressing as a man, how would one ever come up with such a witty plan. As for her loyalty unto me, it is unbound, for she has left her father just to be with me. This woman I love is everything and more. I cannot wait for tonight, for after tonight their shall be nothing between Jessica and I but love.
