Chapter 17

Baggage Claim

A few hours and several tense moments with security later, I found myself nestled next to Rick on a flight from Manchester to Portland. Julius had arranged for special airport services in the form of an ogre for hire. He conveniently left Julius’s coffin on the tarmac long enough for him to mist into it after he compelled our way through security. The sun rose as we took off. We’d land in the afternoon and have to take care of the vampire’s body until sundown.

“Have I flown in an airplane before?” Rick stared out the window at the lightening sky.

“I don’t know. You’re several hundred years old, so I’d be surprised if you hadn’t.”

“Seems unnatural.”

The plane jostled and Rick gripped the armrest until I feared he’d rip it off. “It’s just turbulence,” I said, placing my hand over his. “Besides, you do know you can fly, right?”

“So you tell me.”

“You shifted the other night. It was painful and slow, but you did it with my help. Believe me, if this plane was going down I’d help you. We’d figure it out.”

“You have greater confidence in me than I have in myself.”

His frown reflected in the small round window. “Shifting wasn’t what you expected.”

“It was painful. Excruciating. But what made it worse was before. I wanted to be with you. My body was alive for you and then”—he shook his head—“The beast took control. I tried to stop it and it happened anyway. What if—”

“What if we can’t be together without you shifting?”

He nodded.

“We always could before, Rick. I’m figuring out how to make this easier for you, for us. Polina and Logan are helping us. Trust in that. We’ll figure out how to make you whole again.”

He nodded but didn’t meet my eyes. I stared out the window over his shoulder in silence.

“I’d do it for you,” he murmured.

“Do what?”

“If this plane went down, I’d shift again and learn to fly, if it meant saving you.” He glanced back at me, a ghost of a smile turning the corners of his lips.

I leaned my head on his shoulder. “I know you would.”
