As much as she longed to take to the sky, hesitation captured her the moment she stepped out into the sunshine. It was a crisp fall day and the chilly air blowing in from the Atlantic stung her cheeks and teased her lungs. The summer had come and gone while she languished in their enemies’ hands. They took time away from her. The unfamiliar chokehold of fear held her fast. Simon brushed a hand down her arm, reminding her that she wasn’t alone. The rules were simple. She had to stay within line of sight and return the moment Simon ordered it. This is like some naughty game of Simon says…

He groaned and gave her a pinch on the bottom. She jerked away and spun to face him, laughter bubbling through the melancholy. The tender, almost amused smile on his lips tinged toward sadness and she glanced up at the sky once. “Watch me.”

I intend to.

She danced away a dozen steps. The nervousness in her breast fluttered. She didn’t need to be nervous. Flying—like riding a bike—returned to her naturally. She didn’t need to think about how to do it, just had to let the energy surge through her, and she rose, climbing. Her eyes closed and her face tilted up to bask in the sun, the warmth a direct contrast to the cold breeze ruffling her hair. The moment she went airborne the fear and hesitation melted away. She soared up, climbing for the sun.

Too far… Simon reminded her, jessing her to the earth, and she rolled, spreading her arms to catch the lift and then diving. The wind whistled against her ears and pushed her hair back from her face. The earth raced up to meet her and she turned, skimming the ocean, and back up.

Can you read my mind? She laughed as the old song her mother loved to listen to wormed its way into her head.

Yes. Sadly, he didn’t quite get the joke and then she caught a trace of mental laughter when she mouthed the words. She barrel rolled and buzzed the house, pirouetting and diving like a bird on the wind. Elation flooded through her and her smile grew. She loved flying—there was no other feeling on the planet like it. She shed stress with every swinging pass. Simon’s regard followed her and she turned her head to look down at him. He was so much larger than life, better than any other man she’d ever known. Patient. Kind.

Sexy as sin.

And he was in her head. He saw all the broken bits of her and didn’t run away. He defended her against herself and the world. But he couldn’t see the world the way she did.

Amanda… A note of trepidation entered his mental voice, and she grinned. He saw the thought before it fully formed, and she swooped down. Plowing into him, she wrapped him up in her arms and climbed. He might be taller than her and broader of shoulder, but she bubbled the warm air around them and carried him upwards as if he were light as a feather.
