He scrubbed his hand over his mouth. Objective? His objectivity when it came to Kristina and her son was decreasing by the moment. Scaring him, like he’d gone into a free fall and lost control of the aircraft.
“Maybe Gray and I are both on the threshold of becoming who we want to be. Who we were always meant to be.” She tensed. “If only I could get beyond the fear.”
“I know a surefire way to jump-start the process.” He rubbed his suddenly perspiring hands across the thighs of his jeans. “Are you ready to get a tiny glimpse of your husband’s world?”
She laid her palms flat on the armrest of the chair and studied him. “Your world, too.”
“Gives me a new perspective every time. Monday morning after the kids go to school, how about you take that trip with me into the sky?”
Her eyebrows rose almost to her hairline. “In your airplane?”
Canyon’s lips curved. “Unless you can flap your arms fast enough, yeah.”
She gave him a shaky laugh. “So soon?”
He leaned his elbows on his knees. “Talk is cheap, Kristina Montgomery. Where’s your sense of adventure?”
She squared her shoulders. “Are you daring me to go?
He cocked his head. “Consider it a leap of faith. Gaining a God-sized perspective on where you’ve been and where you want to go. And I’ll throw in a free flying lesson.”
Kristina’s mouth fell open. “Flying lessons? How did we go from an aerial tour of the Eastern Shore to me taking control of an airplane?”
He rolled his tongue in his cheek. “And here I believed taking control would be your thing.”
She sniffed. “You don’t think I’ll accept, do you?”
He pursed his lips. “I think you can do anything you set your mind to. Trouble is, getting you to believe that, too.”
She extended her hand. “All right then. You’ve got a deal.” She glanced toward the kitchen. “But I insist you let me use my accounting degree and get your books up-to-date.”
His hand closed around hers. A tingle shot up his arm. “Fair enough.” He squeezed her fingers before letting go. “0900 sharp.”
Canyon’s heart raced with a mixture of dread and excitement. So much for avoiding the Widow Montgomery. And he pondered just how much this flying lesson would cost him.
