For the first time in so freakin’ long, I felt complete again.
I trembled as I cried, and Luca held me.
He held me and didn’t let me go.
Not until I was all cried out.
That was when I realized that the sound of the blades of the helicopter were no longer filling the
air.
That it was silent as a tomb.
“You scared the shit out of me.” His voice sounded ragged, as if he’d just gargled with rocks and
did a couple shots of vodka for shits and giggles. “It’s dangerous to be out while the blades are still spinning.”
I looked up when I felt the chill in his tone.
“What are you talking about?” I mumbled into his chest.
He shivered.
“When helicopters are powering down, their blades droop,” he said. “That’s when they’re most
dangerous. You could’ve been decapitated.”
I shivered just thinking about it.
“I’m sorry,” I said.
And I was.
I had no idea.
“I know,” he said. “You didn’t know.”
I looked over Luca’s shoulder to see Tim being yelled at by someone.
“Who’s that?” I asked.
Tim was standing at rigid attention, and his back was so ramrod straight that I had a feeling
whoever the person doing the yelling was, he was an important guy.
“Based on his dress, I would say an officer or some sort,” Luca said. “Are you okay to go back?”
Was I okay to go back?
I had no fucking clue.
I wasn’t okay in the least.
In fact, I was so far from okay that I wasn’t sure I’d ever be okay again.
But I could suck it up.
I could make it to the vacation rental.
