Dean cut off the engine as we pulled into the parking lot back at the rental place where we had picked the car up from, then blinked through the windshield at the bright lights passing over us as the hum of airport traffic lit the night skies above. In a couple of hours we would be flying back home again and I honestly couldn't wait to be surrounded by our stuff and somewhere where I could make out like everything was normal and that my life wasn't bewildering and totally messed up.

"Princess – ,"

Dean sighed then untangled our fingers which I'd insisted on keeping locked as he had tried to steer the car and which had made things complex but which he hadn't pulled away from because unlike my father, he always put me first.

Always.

I blurted out the answer before he could finish it because I already knew what he was going to say and besides which he needed to know what had happened since I had previously been too preoccupied busting out tears to explain.

He needed to know.

"I thought it was for the website."

Blue eyes blinked back at me through the parking lot lights and seemed to sparkle in the darkness like gemstones which then summed him up entirely because he was one hell of a precious find. In the rare moments when he wasn't being baffled by his fiancée.

"Website?"

"That – that was what he said it was for."

"Who?"

In response to the continued and hotly swirling bewilderment which was backlit by the fury he still had pulsing on, I took a long breath then steadied my heart a little since I probably needed to start from the beginning of the thing. I reached over the console and put my hands on his kneecap because I felt like I needed to ground myself to him and he responded by reaching over and laying his arm across my headrest before gently rubbing my cheek with his thumb.

Ugh, too perfect.

"I had a runner come up and ask me if I would go with him to film some of that random online stuff like when they ask for your favorite color and best movie or what animal you would be and – ,"

"Princess."

I was rambling again.

Right.

"Um, I – I know I shouldn't have gone with him, but he was so nervous and sort of tiny and I really thought it would be fast and because they've never asked me to do that kinda stuff before and so I guess I was flattered which is stupid of me but – ,"

I was briefly cut off as a plane passed low above us and both made us stop in a moment of wow because I swear if I squinted I could see the passengers through the window and because no matter how many times I flew back and forth to places, I would never not be overwhelmed by how impressive planes were and so terrified but fascinated that they could get themselves airborne and then stay there without falling clean out of the sky. In the few times when it didn't suck, the human race was damn impressive and could pretty much achieve anything.

Dean blew out a sigh,

"So this runner led you right into the middle of a trap here?"
