Upon forgetting something at the hotel, you briefly told your friends you’d be back. You didn’t expect Colombian authorities to question every guest who walked in alone. You weren’t the translator in your group, so when an officer asked you something in Spanish. You felt cornered.

John was enjoying a drink by the bar when he noticed you had difficulty responding. He knew why they were questioning you, and he wouldn’t jeopardize his mission, so what better way to ensure the authorities backed off him and left you alone than to pose as your husband?

”There you are, honey; I have been looking for you,” he said, grabbing your hand and tugging you towards him. He briefly told the authorities, ‘Es mi esposa,’ accompanied by a charming and loving smile. They soon apologized and left you both, continuing their search.

”You okay?” releasing his hold on you to make sure you were alright.
