ready for any eventuality. They exited the shower and dried each other with the blue monogrammed white towels, which had been a perfect wedding gift. Reanna lit a few candles while Jim was off to the kitchen. Jim returned to the bedroom with two glasses of wine which sparkled in the candlelight while their favorite Hawaiian love songs softly played the music of their wedding.
    Reanna took her glass and raised it. “To us, Jim,” she said and their glasses met in the middle with a “clink.” They each took a sip and Reanna said, “Just like our first night together in Hawaii, huh?”
    Jim didn’t respond but placed both glasses on the night stand. “Come on, Reanna, let’s relive that wonderful first night together.” They lowered themselves onto their silk duvet. Jim held Reanna and kissed her neck as he always had, which produced a slight tingle in her body. Then he continued his exploration. Jim’s slow yet methodical movements continued until they were in a full rhythmic embrace. They both enjoyed the ultimate pleasure as only two passionate people deeply in love can.

Chapter Nine
    What a beautiful morning, thought Reanna as she walked to her car, inhaling the soft air and sweet vapors of the earth. Bright orange and pink filled the eastern sky as oaks, elms and maples proudly displayed their new growth and the green leaves stretched for the sky. Every day represented a new journey, and she hoped this beauty was an omen for Jim to start on a new and successful mission.
    As soon as she got into the driver’s seat, Jim opened the passenger door and climbed in.
    “Thanks for driving me to the airport this morning,” said Jim.
    After a short pause, Reanna said, “Just be careful,” and started the car, pulling away from the curb.
    When they arrived at the airline terminal, they both exited the car and embraced.
    “Thanks for a good send-off last night,” said Jim, grinning.
    “Hey, that’s a two-way street. We’ll have a rerun when we get home.” Then it was Reanna’s turn to grin.
    “Be careful, honey,” said Reanna. “I’ll see you in a couple days.”
    Jim grabbed his suitcase. “We’ll still have time together in Korea. I love you,” then he disappeared into the terminal.

    Reanna’s eyes were red and a few tears rolled down her face. She should be used to this but she always worried about his safety. She dug in her purse for a tissue and dabbed at her eyes. She swallowed hard then she pulled away from the curb and headed for home, fingering her necklace. She was consumed with Jim and thought of the many scenarios he might be involved in when she heard, “eeeoooeeeooo, eeeoooeeeooo.” Reanna eyeballed the red lights flashing on top of a police car in her rear view mirror and she pulled over to the curb, stopped and rolled down her window. She slowly shook her head as she slumped down in her seat. This couldn’t be happening at a worse time. Two days before she had to travel. She’d talk herself out of a ticket. She’d done that before.
    The police officer in his blue uniform approached Reanna’s window.
    “Do you know how fast you were going back there?” the office asked belligerently, pointing behind him with his thumb.
    “No.”
    “You were doing seventy-five in a thirty-five mile-an-hour zone.” The officer took a deep breath then said, “May I see your driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance please?”
    Oh no, she’d changed purses too soon. She couldn’t believe she did that . Reanna’s heart began to race and her face flushed as she fidgeted in her purse and pulled out her driver’s license and registration. She held them in one hand while she continued to search her purse with the other hand as if hoping she could find something that wasn’t there. “Damn,” she mumbled to herself and placed the documents in the officer’s hand.
    He flipped through the documents, scowled and asked, “What’s your name?” while he alternately continued to
