Relaxing back into my seat, I sigh. It’s been so long since I had a day off, let alone taken a trip like this one. Heaven’s hand resting in mine feels good, I never knew a woman’s company could be so enjoyable.

“Do you wanna watch a movie or something?”

“Maybe, I wondered where the screens are.” She starts checking around her for one of those little fold out screens commercial flights have.

I press the button located to the side of me, and the huge TV slides down opposite us. She looks surprised, and it draws a smirk from my lips.

“Of course you have a full size TV in the wall. I mean, who wouldn’t?”

“I told you, we’re the best of the best. Here,” I say, passing her the remote, “put what you like on. You can also switch up the lighting, if you want something a little more relaxing.”

She plays with the buttons, and the lights turn a deep shade of pink. “This is amazing!”

“I’m glad you like it,” I reply, watching her expression as she flips from color to color.

“So, tell me how did you end up in China?”

“It’s kind of a long story.”

“We have over eighteen hours still left on this flight,” I state.

“Fair point. Okay, basically I have this ex, Richie.”

Shit, I have a feeling I’m not going to like this. The thought of her having an ex makes my jaw lock and forearms tense. Obviously, she’s going to have exes, but it doesn’t stop the thought from bugging me. I moan, pretending to be interested.

“I thought he was the one. We were together straight out of college, and I would have done anything for him.”

“What happened?”

“Let’s just say he wasn’t the guy I thought he was.” She tenses, and her eyes avoid mine.

“Right.”

“Soon after we got together, he changed. It was like he didn’t want to be with me, he wanted to own me. He decided what I wore... said… did… Gradually, I lost myself, and in the end, he controlled everything, but I couldn’t see it at the time. My parents tried to talk sense into me; Brianna begged me to leave.”

Fuck. My hand curls in a tight fist, and I’m not sure how to respond. I can’t believe she’s opening up to me about this. It has only been a couple of dates, could she trust me already?

“I’m sorry,” is all I can manage to say.

“The first time he called me names was when I was wearing a pair of leggings like these. He told me I was a slut and made me get changed into sweatpants. He didn’t like me wearing anything that fitted my figure, and it took me a long time, and a trip to China to be able to wear anything like this again. I spent years trying to please him. I thought if I did what he wanted… stuck to his rules, we’d go back to being okay again. He used to act like he had these insecurities, so I’d end up feeling bad for him and get stuck in this vicious cycle that I couldn’t see a way out of.
