Chapter Two

High On A Mountain of Love

* * * * *

Katelynn was actually enjoying the ride in the plane, looking down on the world passing silently below and barely being able to make out roads, towns and lakes. Cities were pretty easy to spot as we flew over, and I smiled at her as I pointed out Denver, way down there below us. We were at about thirty thousand feet, so that meant it was almost four and a half miles below us, since it's a mile high itself. She smiled back, just amazed at how this new adventure was going, and I reached across and took my hand.

“I love you, Katelynn,” I said, and she echoed it back to me. I loved her, and I loved looking into her eyes, seeing the love that she felt for me reflected there. I truly had found an incredible woman.

The airplane gave a sudden lurch, and Katelynn looked at me. “Turbulence,” I said. “Sometimes there's a wind at our altitude that is going crossways to our flight path, and it can make the plane bounce around. That's all it is.” She relaxed and smiled, but then it happened again.

I could tell she tried not to be afraid, but when it happened a third time, this time accompanied by a loud bang, she couldn't keep her fear under control any longer. “Nate?” she said, “What's wrong?”

I was looking toward the cockpit, and I know she could tell that I was becoming concerned, too. A moment later, the pilot's voice came over the intercom.

“Mr. Simmons, we've got an emergency situation. One of the engines has exploded, and it's on fire, but we've set off the extinguisher and it's going out. The problem is that we can't maintain this altitude with one engine, so we're going to have to descend and land as soon as we can find somewhere to put down safely. There's no danger at the moment, and I'll keep you posted.” He clicked off, and Katelynn looked at me.

“Relax, Babe,” I said. “Stan's one of the best pilots in the business, he knows what he's doing.”

She smiled, but it was a nervous smile. She'd told me that she had always been a bit afraid of flying, and had only been on airplanes twice, back when her father was in the senate. She was only about ten at the time, and hadn't ever expected to be flying again, but here she was, and in a plane that was having problems.

There was another lurch, and then another bang, and alarms started going off, whistles shrieking and bells ringing, and I felt my heart leap up into my throat. Oh, God, here I was on the way to my future as her husband, and the plane was going to crash, and there was just nothing fair about that…

“Mr. Simmons,” came the pilot's voice, “we're going down. The remaining engine has seized, and we’re going down no matter what. Brace yourselves for an emergency landing, and it won't be long!”

I was instantly in action.
