A little over an hour later, Lexi found herself in the copilot’s seat of a tiny airplane, rising high above the Alaskan landscape below. She had never been a big fan of flying, let alone of flying in a plane that was so small you felt like it wasn’t much bigger than a toy. But Lexi tried to put on a brave face and look like she was enjoying the ride. She didn’t want to admit that she might have been just a tiny bit nervous.

Okay, a big bit nervous.

Silver, on the other hand, seemed to be completely unaware of how they were being held up in the air at a precariously high altitude by only a tiny box of metal. She was bouncing around in one of the back seats, which were even tinier than the front seats, and asking her dad question after question about Christmas plans while he maneuvered the plane toward the north. Lexi wanted to tell Silver to be quiet and let her dad concentrate on flying the plane, but Anderson seemed completely unbothered by the interruptions. Lexi knew, thanks to Silver’s exuberant retelling of the story, all about the instance where Anderson had been forced to crash land one of the planes due to an engine failure. Lexi had no idea how Silver—or Anderson, for that matter—could be so relaxed after experiencing such a traumatic event. But they both acted like it was no big deal. Lexi had actually asked Anderson about it before they had boarded this plane, and he had shrugged.

“It happens,” he’d said. “It’s really rare, and it’s unlikely to happen again. But don’t worry. I know how to land a plane even if it loses an engine. You’ll be just fine.”

Lexi had smiled bravely, and that smile was now frozen onto her face as she tried to mentally unravel the knots in her stomach by telling herself that Anderson was one of the best pilots around. It was true. She’d heard people in Kodiak telling tourists that the pilots from Frost Peak Tours were the ones you really wanted to fly with. They supposedly had more experience, training, and skill than any of the other pilots in Alaska. Still, it was hard to put your complete trust in anyone, no matter how talented they were, when you were hovering about fourteen thousand feet above the ground in what essentially amounted to a glorified beer can.

The bumpy flight wasn’t the only thing that had Lexi’s stomach in knots, though. She still couldn’t believe that she was about to spend two weeks out in a wilderness town with Anderson. What had she been thinking? Sure, he told her she’d have her own cabin, so at least she would have her own space. But she was invading his Christmas celebration, and she barely knew him. She wasn’t even sure why he had insisted that she make the trip. He was so hard to read, looking angry and disinterested one minute, then kind and happy the next.
