LILITH

"How long until we land?" I popped my elbow on the armrest and rested my chin on my palm.

Lucian's eyes were fixed on the computer and his fingers tapped on the keyboard. His wedding band making my stomach clench in happiness.

I would have never thought that I would find this attractive but here I was, ogling my husband's hands and the ring.

"In about half an hour maybe." He said and rested his head back while turning his face to me.

"Okay." I leaned forward and kissed his bicep before I sat straight in the seat and turned my gaze to the window.

We were flying over the Atlantic ocean so that meant that we were going somewhere in Europe maybe...

I still had no idea.

I practically pressed my face to the window and observed the blue water beneath us. It felt surreal.

When I was living with the Sanders we never took vacations together overseas. Did my real family travel for a vacation abroad while I was still with them?

Did we have family trips?

No matter how much I tried to remember things before my abduction, nothing was entering my mind. Was I ever going to remember? Will I remember if I met my biological parents? Will I remember their faces? Will I remember their voices?

Would they know me if they saw me right now?

"You got lost in your head again?" Lucian's soft voice echoed from my left. His palm stroked the skin on my thigh. The summer dress I had on had a slit which has exposed my leg.

Lucian said that we were going to a warm place so this outfit was the only thing I was able to come up with.

"I was just thinking... about my biological parents."

"We'll find them, I promise." I knew that he was actively working on finding them and I trusted him with everything.

"Thank you." He closed the distance between us and kissed my temple. My eyes closed on their own and my body melted into him. I felt his fingers on my bare arm. They started to trace my skin.

I ♡ U

It became our little tradition. Of course, Lucian was saying the word and so was I, but tracing the words on our skin was our little thing.

"Look," Lucian murmured against my skin and I looked to where his hand was pointing. I pressed my face to the window again and there was land.

It looked like a big island.

Wait where were we?

"We're almost at our destination." A smile stretched over my face and I bit my lip in excitement.
