Chapter 13

It took Victor a while to come to the conclusion that the trip to Purity Island was worth it to save my life. We packed our bags and took the ten hour flight out to Nadi, Fiji. It was simple enough, because Jackson had served as our travel agents; he made all the plans and reservations for us, and all we had to do was follow the notes he left for us in a folder.

We boarded the plane and Victor loaded my bag into the overhead carrier. The plane took off and I looked at the blue sky and clouds passing by me. I always loved the window seat. The stewardess doted on me. She brought me hot towels, lotions, neck pillows, healthy snacks, eye masks, and extra drinks.

I glanced at Victor. “Why is she paying so much attention to me?”

“Because you’re a first class patron.”

“Or maybe it’s because I’m pregnant.”

When she came back over, she smiled and offered me another bottled water.

“I’m fine,” I said. “But thank you.”

“But I insist,” she said. “Jackson’s orders.”

I reached for the bottle. “Thank you.” I then turned and looked at Victor. “There you have it. Jackson is involved.”

“I told him I wanted you pampered every step of the way.”

“You didn’t?”

He smiled. “I did. I want nothing but the best when it comes to my beautiful wife.”

Turbulence shook the plane, and I sucked in a deep breath.

Victor gripped my hand. “It’s okay, my love.”

“I get a little freaked out when it comes to flying, but you’re as cool as a cucumber.”

He looked out the window and stared at the blue sky and wisps of clouds. “It’s amazing.”

“I tried to explain airplanes to you before, remember? When I sketched one for you?”

“Your picture was...a little different.”

I laughed and playfully nudged him. “I’m not the artist in the family.”

“Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that we could fly, especially in a carriage in the sky. Your world is nothing short of amazing.”

“Wait a minute, Highness. Did you just compliment my modern world?”

He squeezed my hand. “It’s not where I choose to live, but there are many admirable things here, truly fantastic things.”

“I’m so glad you’ve gotten the opportunity to explore and experience it, if only for a little while.”

“It helps me to understand you more. I wish my world had some of your technology,” Victor said.

I winked. “Did you really just say that? Pinch me. I think I’m dreaming.”

He let out a low chuckle.

“Am I winning you over, my love?”

He smiled. “I do understand why you love it here so much. The landscape is beautiful, and your customs and traditions like Christmas and Easter are wonderful. I’ve met most of your relatives, from cousins to aunts, and they have been warm, friendly, and accepting. They make me feel like family. Your world is so much more advanced than mine. All in all, it’s a wonderful place to live.”

When the plane landed, we disembarked and met our contact that Jackson had arranged.
