We sat on the airplane, waiting to disembark. It was still early, but I felt like I’d been awake for a week. My head rested on Chan’s shoulder as people got ready to exit the plane all around us.

“We did it Princess.”

Chan kissed my temple.

“You are finally free of him.”

I leaned back to look at him.

“Because of you.”

He grinned. There he was. My cocky husband.

“Tell me Chan, what do you want to do now?”

He tilted his head thoughtfully.

“Hmmm… I have lots of ideas. What about you?”

I squeezed him.

“Anything you want.”

His eyes lit up.

“Anything?”

I nodded, blushing a bit.

He grinned like a schoolboy.

“First, I want some breakfast. Then I want to go home.”

He stood up, faltering a bit. He lifted his arms to help me to my feet. That’s when I saw it.

Chan was bleeding.

“But first I think I might want to see a doctor.”

All the blood left my face. He leaned against me suddenly. I felt his skin.

He was burning up.

“Chan, oh no, why didn’t you tell me?”

“I was too busy beating the bad guys.”

I laughed, feeling hysterical as I tried to wave down a flight attendant.

“Princess?”

“Yes?”

“I will be taking an IOU on that though.”

He leaned in to whisper in my ear.

“I have lots of ideas on how to collect.”

I blushed. Only he could think about sex at a time like this.

“Okay, just please, no more putting your life in danger.”

He grinned at me cheekily.

“It’s a deal.”

The flight attendant helped us get a little cart. The airport had a small hospital for emergencies. They took one look at Chan and called an ambulance. I had to call his Gran and my family to let them know we were not coming straight home. Katey was waiting for us too.

Shari and her new boyfriend had picked up her stuff for her and driven her to the airport.

Everything had worked out for the best.

Everything except Chan.

I couldn’t lose him. Not like this. Not when he was in this situation because of me.

I sat in the back of the ambulance holding Chan’s hand the whole way. They had set up an IV with an antibiotic drip already. He looked pasty and wan. But those dimples still had the power to seduce the panties off a nun.

I should know.

He was joking and teasing me about my promise. I told him to hush and rest. Finally he settled down. He never let go of my hand once though.

Once they brought him inside everything was chaos. He was listed in serious but stable condition. I did my best to fill out his paperwork. I had no idea if strippers had health insurance.

So I put down mine instead. We were married so he should be covered. I hoped.

That was the first time I really thought about that. I was married to a stripper. A very, very talented stripper.

I watched him joking with the nurses as they cleaned his wounds. He was brave and charming and could be so much more. He could do almost anything he set his mind to.
