Chapter Nine

Shayne guided his plane past the only cloud formation around for miles. It was as white and pristine as the snow below.

The winds were with him for a change, and he was making good time. Not that he generally liked to hurry his flights. Flying was the only time he got to really relax. There were no demands on him here; no one who needed him immediately. Up here, with nothing but the sky wrapped around him and the earth below, he was able to let his mind occupy a timeless space where there were no problems for him to deal with.

Except this time, the problem had hitched a ride with him.

Again.

He glanced to his right. Sydney was sitting in the seat next to him, just the way she had on the half dozen or so other medical supply runs he’d made since she’d wan gled her first flight with him several weeks ago. He still wasn’t completely sure how she’d managed to talk him into it. Into coming along with him when he valued his privacy more than a miner valued his first panful of gold.

He’d kissed his privacy goodbye the first time he allowed her to step into his plane.

Even if she hadn’t said a word, Shayne conceded, she would have filled the cockpit with just her presence. Just by being there, she seemed to disrupt the very air around her. Not to mention him.

“Disruptive” didn’t begin to describe his train of thought, which derailed every time he came in contact with her.

But she wasn’t not saying a word. She was saying a hell of a lot of them. No doubt about it, she’d come a long way since the first couple of flights when she’d sat quietly, obviously trying to regulate the pounding of her heart. Now, apparently having come to grips with her fear of flying in the small plane just the way she’d said she would. Sydney used their flight time to attempt to wear him down. She was as determined to get him to teach her how to fly as he was determined not to.

If the past few weeks was any indication, it was obvious she believed that if she talked long enough and hard enough, he would eventually give in.

As if he’d ever let her get her hands on his Cessna.

Still, it astounded Shayne that the woman just wouldn’t give up, no matter how much he ignored her or turned her-down. “Surrender” just wasn’t in her vocabulary. Neither was quitting.

Sydney leaned forward to watch a flock of geese vanish into the horizon. It never ceased to astound her how each bird instinctively knew its position within the formation. She was still trying to find hers in the scheme of things. Although, she had a feeling, the move to Hades promised to bring her closer to that place.

She turned to look at Shayne’s rigid profile. She certainly wasn’t any closer to wearing him down. But that only made her more determined. There was only one other pilot in the area now that Ben wasn’t around.
