Chapter 15

There wasn’t much they could do about the fact that they didn’t have a working radar, and therefore couldn’t fly in the dark. They had to wait, and Joshua was hesitant for Christine to do any more investigation into her father’s whereabouts when they were essentially dead in the water. So, he ordered that everyone was to stand down, stay close to the ship, and simply wait.

“I think everyone is going to go mad before the radar is fixed,” Leah said to him as they sat outside. “I can’t help but feel like this is the calm before the storm.”

“But what storm?” Joshua asked. “Is this to do with Cory? Is someone else after us? Is Christine’s father really involved?”

“I, too, have a million questions and no answers,” she teased him, and he smiled. It was mostly dark, and they could hear some sort of cricket chirping, but other than that, it was peaceful. The troops that were still outside seemed to be asleep, as there wasn’t enough room in the ship for everyone to sleep.

“What questions do you have that are not my own?” he asked. “Because you seemed very upset earlier and I can’t have that.”

Leah shook her head.

“No, I was just being petty,” she admitted, and Joshua reached out to her. She sighed, looking into the sky. “I don’t know why it’s bothering me so much. You, with Christine. It’s never bothered me before.”

“It’s not serious,” he assured her and Leah shrugged.

“I know. It never is, with you. It’s just... I don’t know. This illness must be messing with my brain. Ignore me, I’m a mess.”

“Never,” Joshua said. “Yes, you’ve never been sick before... but I think that it’s making me realize a lot too.”

“Like what?” she asked. “That there are better deputy captains?”

“That there are no better deputy captains,” he said. “Or partners.”

She gave him a small smile, but she didn’t say anything more. Joshua leaned into her.

“I mean it,” he said. “Maybe it’s just the adrenaline talking, but... I mean...if anything happened to you, Leah... Creator, when you were in the hospital, it was terrifying. I swore, if they told me that something happened to you, I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I would lose my mind.”

“You’d be alright, she said. “You always find a way.”

“I’ve always had you,” he said and reached to take her hand. It wasn’t that he had never done that before; they had moments in their lives when they needed to touch. However, they had moments when they needed to simply look at each other, and it would be enough. She didn’t move, letting him take her hand and pull it into his lap. “And I wouldn’t risk losing you either.”

“Joshua, what are you going on about?” she asked.

“I’m going on about the fact that you're making a big deal about me dating Christine, but I don’t have to be.”

“Well, if you’re happy...”

“She doesn’t make me as happy as you do,” he said, and Leah froze.

“Joshua, are you saying something new?”

“No,” he said.
