Chapter Fourteen

Mitch had never been so reluctant to go to work. He arrived to the crew lounge early on Tuesday morning, hoping to check in and head to the airplane without running into Leah. He already planned to put in a bid for a new route as soon as possible. After leaving her house the other day, he’d tried to convince himself that this was a good thing. Leah was dating Dan. She was interested in him, so Mitch could finally put her behind him and move on.

It was easy to tell his brain that this was all for the best, but his heart wasn’t so easily fooled. He kept replaying the conversation they’d had before she’d told him about Dan—before he’d pressed her to tell him. The way they’d flirted and the looks she’d given him, not to mention the shockwave to his senses when she’d hugged him. And like an idiot, he’d stiffened like a board, overwhelmed by the contact. Just when he’d recovered and was about to draw her closer, she’d pulled away. He’d botched the whole afternoon. But even though it was painful, he’d done the right thing asking about Dan. Now he could stop obsessing and let her go.

Laughter sounded from across the lounge. Mitch looked up from his report and his heart lurched. Leah stood talking to a group of flight attendants near the water cooler. It was as if the universe was mocking his attempts to purge her from his thoughts. She had her back turned to him, looking flawless in her fitted navy flight attendant dress and the heels that accentuated her toned calf muscles. She laughed again at something one of her companions said, and Mitch’s heart turned over. That laugh messed with him. Everything about Leah messed with him. He needed air.

He gathered his papers, but just as he was about to leave, she glanced over her shoulder. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw him and she gave a shy smile.

Mitch offered a tentative smile in return, his mouth going dry.

“Are you in there, man?” Sam asked, waving a hand in front of his face.

Mitch blinked and turned to him. “What was that for?” He glanced Leah’s direction, but she’d turned back to her conversation.

Sam rolled his eyes. “I asked you how the weather looked. Twice.” He shook his head and nodded toward Leah. “I thought you were moving past this.”

Mitch straightened his shoulders. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He tugged at the sleeves of his jacket. “And the weather report is fine,” he added, glaring at his friend. “What about your weekend? Did you pop the question yet?”

Sam shook his head. “Uh-uh, don’t even try to change the subject. We’re not talking about me right now.”

“So that’s a ‘no.’” Mitch folded his arms, unwilling to let go of this perfect change of subject. If Sam knew he’d hung out with Leah over the weekend, he would never hear the end of it. And considering they would be stuck together in a cockpit for hours on end, that was a grim prospect.
