Chapter 22

• THOMAS
• Thomas is startled awake by the sound of someone groaning in pain. He looks around the plane, trying to find the source. Thomas sees Melina asleep in the chair, sweating profusely, and her face tense with pain. He wonders why she didn’t go inside to sleep in the bedroom. Moving closer, he observes her mouth moving. He puts his ear close to her lips to hear what she's saying.
• “Please leave me alone, Matteo; I didn’t tell Thomas to emasculate you,” Melina says, clenching her fist. Thomas immediately realizes she’s dreaming about what happened and begins to wake her up.
