“You didn’t leave to get away from me?”
He shook his head. “I didn’t leave to get away from you. I’m never leaving you again. I love you, too, Grace.”
She let out a watery chuckle. “You do?”
In answer, he kissed her with everything he had, falling in love with her all over again when she responded just as passionately. They didn’t come up for air until the passengers around them started clapping and cheering. The stewardesses and the old lady next to him wiped away happy tears while the burly guy fist-bumped Grace and congratulated her on getting her man.
“I can’t believe how much I love you,” he whispered in her ear.
Without warning, she pulled back so fast he almost lost his grip on her. “Oh, my God!” she cried. “I’m on a plane! I got on a plane without Valium or alcohol!”
“That’s good,” he murmured, snagging her bottom lip between his teeth and giving it a little nip before releasing it. “When you get unruly, I’ll cuff you this time. We can have more fun with that if you’re sober.”
She smacked his shoulder playfully and looked up at him, heart in her eyes. “No, I think you cured my fear of flying.”
He kissed her again, putting his whole heart into it. When he pulled back, he couldn’t help but ask, “How did you figure out where I was and make it onto this plane?”
“Well,” she hedged, drawing the word out for several extra syllables, “it’s complicated.”
He grinned at her. “Anything worth having is, angel. Anything worth having is.”
