Prologue
Jaime watched the ground disappear from her window seat on the private plane, and Steve watched Jaime, wondering what she was thinking and what might happen to them – to their marriage – if this didn't work. They'd practically been forced onto this plane; not kidnapped, but prodded by their nearest and dearest into taking a long overdue second honeymoon. They'd both resisted, saying their children needed them, what if the OSI needed them, et cetera, ad nauseum, when the truth was what they both needed most at this point was...each other.
Steve wondered when and how they'd grown so disconnected. Was it too late to try and make things right? Silently, he reached over to take his wife's hand, and she turned to look at him with the same hope in her eyes that was flooding his heart.
"I love you," they both said, echoing each other perfectly. Maybe there was still a chance, after all.
