he said gently, “I want a
divorce.”
    Audrianna’s
smile was wry. “From whom? Me and Viktor, or Viktor and you?”
    Lincoln
snickered.
    “Not
gonna’ happen.” Audrianna sat up in the hospital bed, and Lincoln let go of her
hand.
    “Fine,
then I want a raise.”
    Audrianna
looked appalled. “On top of a five hundred thousand dollar Christmas bonus?”
    “Audrianna-no
amount of money is worth my life.”
    “You
didn’t accept that kind of payout from the U.S. military.”
    “That
was different.” Lincoln lay back in his folding chair, pushing the seat backwards,
balancing on its rear legs. “That was for Corps and country; Viktor’s an ass.”
    Audrianna
scowled. “Don’t say that about my husband.”
    Lincoln
sighed. Folding his arms across his chest, he looked away. “You know you were a
second away from dying tonight.” Lincoln brought the chair down with a harsh
scrape on the floor. “I nearly lost my legs-again.”
    Audrianna
was thoughtful. “I remember the explosion…hmmm…” Bowing her head, she looked
thoughtful.
    Lincoln
stood. The lighting in the room was dim, though dawn was quickly approaching.
They were secured in a room in the women’s hospital at Mount Hope. Audrianna
was in a room by herself, surrounded by eight empty beds.
    Lincoln
looked down on her. Audrianna looked absorbed in thought. She was a small
woman, delicate, but not frail. Her cheeks were high and she had a small, demure
nose and mouth. Her forehead was flat and small.
    Lincoln
brought his hand up to ruffle her hair, an act that always made her balk. He
stopped short, not wanting to alarm her with her bald head. He drew his hand to
his chin and looked at her head.
    She
looked back at him, her soft almond-colored eyes questioning. “What?”
    Lincoln
covered his grin with his hand. “Nothing.” His eyes shifted right to hide the
guilty laughter there.
    She is
gonna’ have one sure fright next time she takes a look in the mirror .
    “I’ll
be outside if you need anything.”
    “You
could go straight on holiday. Ohhh nooo, you missed your flight, right?”
    “It’s
nothing. I’ll catch a later one. I was just looking to take some time off to be
with the kids anyway.”
    Audrianna
screwed up her face, her eyes wandering in the opposite direction. Lincoln
watched her suspiciously.
    “What?”
Lincoln asked.
    “Nothing.”
     “Lincoln?”
    He
looked over his shoulder at her.
    “Thank
you.”
    He
exited the room.
    Audrianna,
lost in thought, soon dozed off once more.
     
     
    Audrianna
awoke to a beaming Viktor looking down at her.
    “Morning,
cupcake!” He walked over to the windows and parted the blinds. Early morning
sun bathed the room, her husband made a silhouette by the sunshine.
    Audrianna
squeezed her eyes shut and stretched in the bed. “Mmmmm. I’m hungry like hell.”
    Viktor
walked over, pulse twitching in his jaw. His voice was soft. “When was the last
time you ate something?”
    Audrianna
sighed, her gaze lowered. “I honestly don’t remember.” It’s been nearly three
days, but she wasn’t going to tell her husband that; it would only compound his
anxiety.
    “Where
did you get such tight pants.”
    “Well,”
he paused, He pulled her up on the bed. “Your ring is gone. And we need to find
you another one.”
    She
made a sad pouty face.
    He
felt a twinge of regret. “Since there is no other way to protect you from
silver, I’m going to have to find another enchanted item to protect my little were from harm. My suit was lined with silver, so I exchanged clothes with Kelly for
a time.”
    She
fingered the waist with her index finger and her hand boldly cupped his bulge
in front. He released a small gasp.
    “As
you can imagine.” He breathed, “It is a tight fit.”
    She
giggled as she caressed his bulge in front. 
    Audrianna
reached out with her arms, beckoning Viktor. He pulled her up on the bed. Kneeling,
she hugged him close. “I need a large pizza.” Moving her tongue
