“Trust me,” he said, managing to sound both heroic and convincing. “I won’t let this plane go down with the two of us in it.”

“You don’t have any control over that,” I said, yanked back out of my daydream and fearing for my life, yet overjoyed that he was trying to comfort me.

Just then we flew out of the turbulence and leveled out. I got up the courage to look out the window again and saw that we were flying through the tops of the clouds.

I could feel my sweat cooling as my terrible visions started fading.

“You’re safe, Bradley,” my savior said, comforting me again. I turned back to him, and he looked pleased that my fear was subsiding now that our flight was back on track to Seattle.

“Safe with you,” I whispered as I pressed against him and lifted my face to his, wanting him to kiss me.
