“I feel pretty blessed to have met her finally.”
“I know what you mean,” she replied tenderly.
They flew for about two hours, just taking their time, talking about the past, dreams for the future, and tried to keep things evasive… except that he looked so handsome beside her.
She stared at him dreamily, memorizing his profile, seeing his amiable smile and that gentle way about him that touched her heart. Admiration filled her as she realized he would do everything he could to keep his promises, trying to make things work somehow.
He wasn’t a quitter and believed in taking a deep breath in order to focus and solve any problem. If he was like that with problems, she couldn’t imagine how driven he would be regarding something he truly wanted.
… And everything in her believed that was the case with their budding relationship.
She never noticed how cramped the small planes were, until she could smell his cologne, and felt his presence. Her shoulder was pressed to his, her leg close, and she reached out to touch his hand… and immediately felt that sense of wonder wash over her.
He was her forever – and she understood his words so deeply from earlier as he looked at her. His hazel eyes met hers and she could see a future with him, so clear, so bright and wondrous. It was enchanting.
“Monday morning, huh?”
“Monday morning,” he confirmed slowly. “I’ll bring coffee and be there early before work.”
“You’re not nervous?”
“It’s fading really fast,” he breathed. “The more I think about it, the more I want to… and while I never imagined it happening? I feel it’s the right thing, a feeling so deep inside that it’s humbling.”
“Moving your policy?” she quipped playfully.
“Yep…” Luke laughed nervously and looked away, as if he realized what he was inferring for anyone listening – and to her. He looked at her again, laced his fingers with hers, and smiled tenderly.
“Will you transfer my insurance policy on Monday morning? Will you be my agent, take care of my truck, and build a renter’s policy to protect my future?”
Nicolette felt tears sting her eyes as she chuckled happily. This was certainly the weirdest and strangest proposal she could have ever imagined – and it was perfect.
“I would be honored to… to be your agent,” she breathed openly, staring at the joy and love simmering in his eyes, as he brought her hand to his lips, kissing her ring finger pointedly.
Nicolette nodded, grinning – and saw his own wide smile.
“Should we land this bird and get some coffee or something?” he asked, almost excitedly. “We should probably talk about this more because it’s a big move for me. I mean, when I sign on with an agent… I don’t plan on ever changing. I want to make sure this is the right move.”
“We should definitely talk, and I’d be happy to answer any questions.”
“Do you need my VIN number off my truck?”
“I’ll need all sorts of information. Where it will be parked, things like that…”
“Yeah, we should probably talk a lot then because I don’t know how much time I’ll have Monday morning…”
“I’m so glad we’re actually talking about this.”
“I figured, especially when you tried to talk me into it a few days ago.”
“I’m very persuasive.”
“You are indeed. Do you want to call it in?”
Nicolette nodded, making her announcement… and both of them started at the sound of Armadillo’s voice: Luke’s father.
She swallowed nervously, realizing both of their parents were going to be onsite when they landed the plane and was sure to realize something was going on eventually between them… if they hadn’t already picked up on it.
“This is Flyboys, Cessna-five-seven-three-niner… you are cleared to land, Saxony.”
