In the James Patterson novel Black Market the word changes between editions.
"you were my reshenie. That's a Russian word."
"You were my listok. That's a Russian word."
Can someone explain the difference between listok and reshenie to me please.

Listok
"Listok" also means piece of paper. Maybe (since there is no supporting context) the author was referring to a draft version of written idea". If maybe he explains why he included someone into something. "Reshenie" - decision.

leaf
"reshenie" is decision (or solution)
"listok" is leaf
Without more context, these two words seem totally unrelated.
"listok" is leaf

Note from asker:
| Thank you so much. Listok was in an earlier version of the text, so it was a mistake on Patterson's behalf. |
