“We just landed,” said Laura.
“Did you have a great time?” asked Piper, keen to deflect the conversation away from her and Cameron and back to Smoke and Laura.
“It was amazing,” said Laura. “I didn’t want to come back.”
Smoke pursed his lips. “You’re the one who said we had to. I’ve got Piper to cover for me now.”
Piper laughed as he winked at her and Laura slapped his arm. “You only have Piper because of me.”
Cameron turned and grinned at her. “What’s it like to be so popular?”
She laughed. “I don’t know.”
“Well, you’d better get used to it,” said Smoke. “I have a feeling it won’t just be Laura and me fighting over you for long.” He gave Cameron a meaningful look.
Cameron raised an eyebrow at her, and she nodded. “I just hope she’s not going to be working weekends.”
Smoke shook his head. “Not unless something urgent comes up and I can’t cover it.”
Laura smiled at Piper. “Tell us then, what are you planning?”
Piper shrugged.
Cameron looked at her. “Are you ashamed of me?”
She laughed. “No. Of course not.” She turned to Laura. “I’m going to see him next weekend.”
Laura grinned, but Piper didn’t miss the look Smoke exchanged with Cameron. She didn’t know if it was a warning or what, but it didn’t look good—whatever it was.
They all turned at the sound of a jet approaching. “Is that for you?” Laura asked Cameron.
He nodded.
“How’s Gene doing?” asked Smoke.
“I’m a bit worried about him,” said Cameron. “He was so tired on Friday night when he brought me up here that he stayed the night before he flew home.”
Smoke frowned. “Have you got him flying a heavy schedule?”
“No! Even he said it’d been a light week for him. I’m going to make sure he gets a checkup next week. I’d hate to think he was sick.”
“Me too. Especially when he’s flying. Anyway,” he grinned, “I need to get my wife home, and I’m sure you two need to say your goodbyes. Give Gene my best.”
“Will do.”
“See you in the morning, Piper.”
“Yes, boss.” She smiled at Laura who told her with her eyes that the two of them needed to catch up and she wanted to hear all about her and Cameron.
“See you guys.”
Once they’d gone, Cameron hugged her to him. “You’re not embarrassed about us, are you?”
“Hell no! I was thinking more that you might be.”
“Nope.” He looked out the window to where Gene was bringing the plane to a halt. “I’m glad we saw them, glad they know we’re together.”
She smiled at the way he put it.
