The next morning, Aidan was gone from my bed, but there was a note left on his pillow.
‘Got to finish packing. See you on the plane. Trust me. I love you. Aidan x’
I sighed, falling back against the pillows.
Trust him.
You should trust the person you were going to marry, right? It was sort of an unspoken rule. He was asking me to dive into this without any real clue what he was hiding from me.
Tension with our allies… what the hell did that mean? He’d said it was nothing to worry about, but if that were true, he wouldn’t be hiding it from me.
He just wants to take care of you…
I studied the glittering cluster of diamonds on my finger, twisting my hand so they caught the sunlight and cast rainbows across my vision.
If there was one thing I was sure about with Aidan, was that he loved me. Completely. Unequivocally. Probably a little bit too much at times. He wouldn’t do something so terrible that I could never forgive him…would he?
Although… what couldn’t I forgive him for? He’d done a lot to worse to me in the past than lying, but it had always come from a place of love.
No.
For all of my refusal to trust him last night, the longer I thought about it, I realized that in an odd, sort of toxic way, I did trust him. I believed he’d never intentionally cause me harm.
Everything he’d ever done was for me… he wasn’t always right in the things he did, but I did trust that he wasn’t doing what he did just to be a dick.
Which left me with no option but to turn up to the airport and get on that plane to Seattle.
I pulled myself out of bed and plodded to the closet.
Time to go get married.

A glossy white private jet waited on the tarmac as my SUV rolled up next to it.
It’s so small.
Is that even safe?
It didn’t look like it was even big enough to make it off the ground. I was sure I’d seen model planes bigger.
We should have flown commercial.
At least if the plane was downed, there were more people around to cannibalize.
My stomach rolled.
What the fuck, Cait!
What was wrong with me?
That was not an okay thought!
The stress was beyond getting to me now, if those were my thoughts.
Perhaps I should see a therapist.
