I
switch
off
the
BlackBerry
,
unable
to
shake
my
anxiety
.
Something
is
up
with
Christian
.
Perhaps
the
situation
is
out
of
hand
.
I
sit
back
,
glancing
up
at
the
overhead
bin
where
my
bags
are
stowed
.
I
managed
this
morning
,
with
my
mother
s
help
,
to
buy
Christian
a
small
gift
to
say
thank
you
for
first
class
and
for
the
gliding
.
I
smile
at
the
memory
of
the
soaring
that
was
something
else
.
I
don
t
know
yet
if
I
ll
give
my
silly
gift
to
him
.
He
might
think
it
s
childish
and
if
he
s
in
a
strange
mood
,
maybe
not
.
I
am
both
eager
to
return
and
apprehensive
of
what
awaits
me
at
my
journey
s
end
.
As
I
mentally
flick
through
all
the
scenarios
that
could
be
the
situation
,
I
become
aware
that
once
again
the
only
empty
seat
is
beside
me
.
I
shake
my
head
as
the
thought
crosses
my
mind
that
Christian
might
have
purchased
the
adjacent
seat
so
that
I
couldn
t
talk
to
anyone
.
I
dismiss
the
idea
as
ridiculous
no
one
could
be
that
controlling
,
that
jealous
,
surely
.
I
close
my
eyes
as
the
plane
taxis
toward
the
runway
.
I
EMERGE
INTO
THE
Sea
-
Tac
arrivals
terminal
eight
hours
later
to
find
Taylor
waiting
and
holding
up
a
sign
that
reads
MISS
A
.
STEELE
.
Honestly
!
But
it
s
good
to
see
him
.

Hello
,
Taylor
.
Miss
Steele
,
he
greets
me
formally
,
but
I
see
a
hint
of
a
smile
in
his
sharp
brown
eyes
.
He
looks
his
usual
immaculate
self
smart
charcoal
suit
,
white
shirt
,
and
charcoal
tie
.
I
do
know
what
you
look
like
,
Taylor
,
you
don
t
need
a
sign
,
and
I
do
wish
you
d
call
me
Ana
.
Ana
.
Can
I
take
your
bags
,
please
?

No
,
I
can
manage
.
Thank
you
.
His
lips
tighten
perceptibly
.
B
-
but
,
if
you
d
be
more
comfortable
taking
them
,
I
stammer
.
