Return Flight
image-placeholderLina's breath stilled.
Her stomach dropped, and thrill bounced it back up, kick-starting her heart.
She released a few of her favourite blasphemes, eyes anchored on the uniformed man across the opulent dining hall aboard the Soaring Dragon.
In conversation with the airship's concierge, he was turned in profile.
Her surprise slid into familiar admiration—only for a moment. From this distance and angle, he looked much the same as their last encounter.
A blush seared her cheeks, and a sudden flutter in her belly matched the ship's engine vibrating beneath her feet. The new luxury liner airship was moving out of its berth at the Hong Kong port bound for Europe.

At this proximity, Lina could see the subtle changes in him.
A little older, a little more stern from experience, and his eyes, despite their appreciative sweep of her person, were a little harder as they settled on her face. But his smile didn't falter.
Would you care to join me for tea?
Perhaps another time. I am on duty.
"Surely you can have tea while
