Chapter 6

It was dark when they got into the Mercedes with their luggage and started for the airport.

"It's only going to be overnight, isn't it?" Madeline asked, feeling comfortable in her jeans and navy blue blouse. "I left plenty of water and food down for Cabbage, but only for a day and a night. She's such a glutton, she eats it all in the beginning."

"Just like my dog," he chuckled. "They'll be all right. Do you have a fishing license?"

"Nope. See how efficient I am? See why old McCallum loves me so?" she teased.

"If the truth were known," he told her, "I'll bet old McCallum loves you like hell."

"Worships me from afar, you mean?" she laughed, enjoying the early morning, the ride, his company. In his own jeans and a worn knit shirt, he looked every inch a fisherman, and she wondered absently why he insisted on pretending he had money. It didn't matter to her one way or the other. It was the man she loved. Loved. She leaned her head against the seat with a sigh.

"McCallum worships the corporation, honey," he said gruffly. "Didn't you know? It's his life."

She cut her eyes to the distant Atlanta skyline, brilliant lights over the sleepy little outsprung communities. "That crash must have been terrible for him," she said quietly. "And the little boy...."

He switched on the radio, tuning it to a station with soothing music. "We'll make it to Columbus in about thirty minutes, with luck. I hope you filled your stomach up before we left," he added.

"I did. And I brought some seasick tablets along, too," she said smugly. Where he couldn't see, she crossed her fingers with a silent prayer. If she got airsick this time, it was going to be a very long flight.
