White light crept into Sarah’s pupils, momentarily blinding her as she opened her eyelids. Her mind felt groggy, her body uncoordinated. She lifted her head with a strained effort and saw her left shoulder and arm in a sling and her knee wrapped in a soft cast. She gave her quad a bend and was rewarded with a sharp pain that stole the breath from her body. A large curtain surrounded her, and it was suddenly ripped back, and a group of nurses surrounded her.

“How are you feeling, Ms. Francis?” the nurse asked.

It took Sarah a moment to process the information. Mary Francis was one of the aliases she used in her international travel. “I’m fine. What’s today’s date?”

“It’s Friday,” the nurse answered.

“Shit!” The word was loud, harsh, and triggered the jaws of the nurses around her to drop, while the occupants of the beds next to her sniggered. “I need to make a call. Where’s my phone?” Before the dumbfounded nurse could answer, Vince entered, her phone in his hand.

“Darling, you’re awake!” Vince said.

All effort to conceal her emotions had vanished and was replaced by the irritable expression usually reserved for Bryce’s tech babbling. Vince pushed the nurses aside and leaned in to kiss her lips. Sarah immediately stopped his face mid-push with her good right hand and denied his advances. He smiled, waving it off playfully.

“You did always like to play hard to get,” Vince said.

“And you do love it when it’s your turn with the dildo,” Sarah replied, giving a sweetly innocent smile, which the nurses around her found neither sweet nor innocent.

“Will you ladies give us a moment?” Vince asked. “My wife and I have a lot of catching up to do.”

The nurses nodded, their eyebrows raised in a mixture of polite professionalism and shock. Vince drew the curtain back, giving them some privacy.

“You need to explain yourself,” Sarah said. “Right now.”

“Honey, you’re distraught,” Vince said, brushing back her hair.

Sarah snatched his hand in mid-swipe, squeezing the pressure point on his palm, and twisted it hard right, triggering a yelp. “What the hell happened?”

Vince rubbed his wrist, keeping his voice low. “The nearest GSF medical facility was too far out for the surgery you needed. You could have lost your leg if it wasn’t operated on soon, not to mention the amount of blood you lost, so I brought you here.” He squeezed his palm into a fist a few times and rotated it around on his wrist, checking its mobility. “Usually this is when people say, ‘oh, thank you!’”

Sarah rested her head back on the pillow. She closed her eyes. “I missed it.” She felt something land on her stomach, and when she opened her eyes, she saw her phone.

“I know,” Vince said, his voice void of the playful newlywed act. “Your brother kept calling. I didn’t answer. I figured you would want to come up with your own story.”

Sarah scrolled through the twenty missed calls and just as many voicemails and text messages.

“You have
