Hurrying up the short portable stairs that had been positioned beside the sleek plane, Lukkas greeted the pilot as he entered the plane.
“Jacob, this is Hanna Something-or-other. She’ll be taking Janice’s place,” he told the pilot. “Hanna, this is Jacob Winter, the very best pilot around.”
The pilot flashed a modest smile. “He’s just saying that because I didn’t crash the plane.”
Obviously there was more to the story than just that, Yohanna thought, looking from one man to the other. But if there was, it would be a story for another day, she could tell.
Inclining his head ever so slightly for a moment, the pilot told Lukkas, “We’ll be taking off as soon as you strap in.”
Lukkas looked at her as if they were equal partners in this, not boss and employee. “Then, let’s get strapped in.”

A few minutes later Yohanna was gripping the armrests of her seat and holding her startled breath as she felt the single-engine plane begin its takeoff.
This was the easy part, she told herself, but she remained stubbornly unconvinced of this.
“I take it that you don’t fly very much, do you?” Lukkas asked, looking at the way her very white knuckles seemed to protrude as Yohanna continued gripping the armrests.
“No,” Yohanna answered without looking in his direction.
He thought he heard a slight quiver in her voice. That didn’t seem like the young woman he was getting to know. “How often have you flown?” he asked.
This time she tried to turn her head to glance in his direction. But something seemed to almost hold her entire body in place. She recognized it as fear and started to mount a defense.
“Counting this time?” she finally responded, answering his question with a question.
“Yes.”
She took in a shaky breath. “Once.”
