“You’ll get used to it.”
“You plan on taking me flying often, Auggie?”

So, I changed the subject.
“Bet this is how you woo all your women.” My voice was playful.
“Of course. Might as well use my best asset.”
“I don’t know, you have some pretty good assets…”
He laughed into my mind.
The sound was light and free. Peaceful. Content.

AUGUST
Flying with Elodie was different than flying on my own.
I loved flying.
But flying with her…
It was better.

With me.
I barely knew her, but I’d already started to realize that it was going to hurt like hell to walk away from her.
If I could walk away from her at all.
I’d met my mate…
