Jared gripped the arm rests of the plane as it hit turbulence. Sank, then bobbed upward, listing left and right before starting the process all over again. If he died now, he thought, he’d leave behind a lot of pissed off people.

The memory of last night with Sheena, how she’d shared her body, her heart, so generous in her love, kept him hoping the damn plane wouldn’t crash. She hadn’t forgiven him – he’d seen the look in her eyes and knew she didn’t understand the depth of his regret, or his intense sorrow at causing her pain as he’d gotten lost in himself.

When they’d first met she hadn’t given him a chance, judging him too quickly. Self-absorbed, she’d assumed without even talking to him. “Guess you were right, Sheena.” He had to make it up to her.

“Are you okay?” The flight attendant, strapped in across from him, asked. “This is some rough wind, but we’ll be fine.”

The plane dipped, and kept on going down. The flight attendant’s mouth pursed.

His dad liked to say that what goes around comes around, and Jared wondered if this was his, coming back around.

He’d taken a chance on making it all come out right but it was too little, too late.
