He stepped quickly from the Jeep Cherokee and hurried
across the parking lot and into the airport. He better not miss this
flight or he would be setting right in her lap and that would never

through. Damned inconvenience was about all it was to him. He
emptied his pockets into the tray and stepped into the machine
that would show anything he had missed. Lot better then being
groped, but there was a lot to be said for that also. He smiled to
himself and the security guard smiled back at him. Damn fool.

second look. He belonged to Meg, heart and soul and very soon
she would know it. As the big jet lifted off and the earth fell
behind and below him, he closed his eyes and envisioned the
perfect world that would soon be his. And for the briefest of
moments he thought he felt her breathe on his cheek.
