Chapter 13

Sam

Emma is nervous as we board the plane. “I need to call Tenny one more time before we take off.”

“You just got off the phone with her.” I sit down beside her and buckle her into her seat before she can get up again. I take her hand in mine, noticing her palms are sweaty. “Everything will be fine, try to relax.”

“I know, I’m just really nervous. I haven’t been back to New York since my parents were killed.” “Ben is safely locked behind bars… where he will be for a very long time.”

“Thank you for coming with me and helping take care of things after Chase left.”

“Chase has everything lined up for us. He’s going to meet us at the hotel in the morning to take us to the hospital. You will have to stay in the hospital a week to recover and then you can go to Chase’s new house for a few days. He’s already set it up so that he can work from home while you are there.”

“He sounded so happy when I spoke to him. I’m glad he’s liking his new job. He hired the perfect person to run the boutique while I’m gone so that I don’t have to worry about it.”

The plane moves down the runway, preparing for takeoff. Emma lays her head on my shoulder. “I love you, Sam, and I can’t wait to look into your eyes.”

The plane takes off and her nervousness grows stronger. I take my earbuds and tablet out of my bag and hand her one end of the earbuds. “Here.” I downloaded some sappy movies for her to listen to.

“What’s this?” she asks as she places it in her ear.

“You said how much you love the movie The Notebook, so I downloaded it for us to listen to.”

“God, you really are the perfect man, aren’t you?”

I turn on the movie, but my thoughts drown out the sound. I’m far from perfect and I’m flooded with guilt. I’ve been using my cane more and more when she’s not around. I packed it in the overhead compartment without her knowing about it. Chase has caught me limping a few times and I lied, telling him it still hurt from the night I injured it saving Tennyson from Ben. I don’t know how I will walk away from her, but I know it won’t be long before I’m back in a wheelchair and I refuse to let her be part of that. Her life will finally be her own again and I won’t take that away from her by letting her burden herself with a cripple. I love her enough to give her that. I don’t think I will ever love another woman again. It breaks my heart knowing that she will hate me in the end.
