Once we getto the hangar, Papa’s trusted pilot is already waiting for us.
“Miss Allair! So good to see you!” Mr. Lavigne greets, kissing both sides of my cheeks. “I trust you two are ready for your trip tonight?” he asks me and Jonathan with an excited smile.
I nod, returning his grin. “Of course we are.” Then, not wanting to sound bossy, I ask in the most polite tone, “May we leave now?”
“Of course, miss. Right this way, if you please.” He leads us to the private jet that’s already prepared on the runway.
We climb up the steps and enter the cool aircraft. I settle on my favorite velvet seat, sighing as my head hits the plush couch. Jonathan takes the seat across from me after placing his bag on the overhead compartment, crossing his legs over his knees as he sinks into his seat.
To relieve some of my stress, I request a bottle of whatever available wine they have. A service crew approaches us, minutes after the plane takes off. He places two wine glasses down and begins to pour us the drink.
“Today’s selection is theCannonau di Sardegnafrom Sardinia,” he announces. “I hope it fits your taste.” He places the bottle down and leaves, telling us that he’ll be ready at the call whenever we need him.
“Well this is nice,” Jonathan remarks, already taking a sip of his wine. He swirls the drink inside the glass and proceeds to take another sip, nodding approvingly at the taste.
I reach out to take my glass and smell the drink. After swirling it a bit, I take a small sip. Contrary to what I’m used to, the sweet flavor of the wine surprises me but doesn’t excite me any further.
“French wine tastes better,” I mutter, diverting my attention from the wine to the clouds outside.
