CHAPTER ONE

"We're all going to die."

Caitlin Grant's head snapped up at the high pitched tones of the small boy in the seat beside her.

He looked up at her with an earnest brown gaze that dared her to disagree. The urge to hug him and tell him everything was going to be all right like Caitlin's gran used to do for her was strong. Children should not be afraid.

"Shh...sweetheart," his mother comforted from his other side, her tone more worried than confident. Still, she rubbed his short nappy hair in a tender gesture. "It's going to be fine, Joey. You heard the captain. It's just turbulence."

"The plane is shaking, mom. This can't be good." Joey sounded so adult and so childish at the same time.

Caitlin felt her lips curving into her first smile in months as she laid a hand on his forearm. "We're coming into Anchorage. It's usually choppy on these flights, but it'll be fine."

"You've been on a shaky plane before?" the boy demanded.

Caitlin nodded, one bright red curl slipping from its clip to brush her cheek. She pushed it back impatiently. "Many times."

She should have used more hair product this morning. Taming her wild red curls was a science. Fighting the near irresistible urge to get up and go to the bathroom so she could smooth her hair uniformly back into the clip, despite the captain's instructions to remain seated, Caitlin tucked the errant strands more firmly behind her ear.

"This is really bad." Joey's tone indicated disbelief for her calm assurances.

Doubt in her judgment was something Caitlin was very familiar with. Whether it was the way she chose to wear her hair, or the orchestra she hired to play at their annual outdoor fete, her ex-husband had frequently expressed concerns about Caitlin's questionable choices, opinions and taste. She'd learned not to defend herself because arguing always made it worse.

But Joey wasn’t her ex and Caitlin couldn't ignore his worry.

Taking a deep breath, Caitlin forced further reassurance from a tight throat. "I've been on planes that shook worse than a baby's rattle and made a lot more noise."

How ridiculous for it to be so difficult for her to add support to her own assertions.

"Really?" Joey asked hopefully.

Caitlin managed another smile. "Really."

"And you didn't die?"

She actually had to suppress the urge to grin at that. Schooling her expression into lines of seriousness, she said, "No."

His mother wasn't as adept at hiding her reaction, doing a poor job of hiding her chuckle with a cough.

Joey didn't seem to notice. "Cool."

A burst of raucous laughter from the rows behind them surprised Caitlin enough to draw her gaze. She knew that voice, though for a second she couldn't place it. It was just a reminder of Cailkirn, a sound that that brought forth feelings of safety and regret in competing measure.
