"No, wait, please! This moron is abducting me."

"Thank you, Purser," Mitch muttered, pushing past the crowd that had begun to stare. He barreled toward the steps, clamping onto Charity like a vise.

She thrashed in his arms, attempting to lash her good leg against his thigh. "Stop it," she hissed. "You're hurting me."

"I'm going to hurt you, you little brat, right where it's long overdue."

"My wrist, you're pinching my sprained wrist!"

Instinctively, he released his hold, realizing the lie too late. Her good fist reached up and clipped him on the jaw.

He grunted and pinned her arm to her side, squeezing hard.

She tried to wrench free. "You're going to break it."

He staggered to the top of the stairs and collapsed against the corridor wall. His jaw twitched faster than the pounding of his pulse. "Maybe that's the answer. Break all of your stubborn bones to keep you in line."

"You'll never keep me in line, you thickheaded Neanderthal." Her face and neck strained white as she tried to twist free.

He sucked in a deep breath and continued down the hall, Charity flailing and screaming all the way. Several elderly couples squeezed past with heads turning.

She latched on to one of the men. "Sir, please, you've got to help. He's abducting me!"

Mitch smiled. "Darling, you're just upset. You'll love America, I promise." He smiled at the couples, then dropped his tone to a bare whisper. "Honeymoon jitters."

Understanding flashed in their eyes, causing Charity to whip about all the more. "No, he's lying. Help me, please!"

The gentlemen smiled politely and quickly ushered their wives down the hall, the sound of Charity's accusations echoing behind.

She jerked to face him. Her eyes glinted with fury. "I should have known. First a coward, then a bully, and now a liar. You booked me as your wife? I'd rather starve in steerage."
