Unknown to Nina Makino, the bones remember. And oh, do they remember well. In the marrow lies all your longing and sorrow, the blood carries a history of secrets and dreams, and the tenderness, there is a tenderness beyond your flesh that you will never escape. You are not safe from yourself.Muscle memory. Your heart, what does it remember when you look at him? Bradley Bradshaw. Does it remember to beat? His sun-kissed skin, his Hawaiian shirts, blistered fingers flying across a piano, You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain...The heart doesn't remember to beat, it breaks instead. And there is nothing left to feel. Soon the heart forgets.
Apathy is the safety net she's always fallen on, the fire blanket that tames her scorching skin. But what is it's use when everything else is on a fire. The doors, the windows, he's set her whole word on fire. No, not Rooster. The other one. Jake Seracin. Hangman. And apathy, this emptiness, it's slowly replaced by anger, this greedy, relentless emotion that demands her undivided attention. Perfection is her birthright, her deserving crown. Hangman is her usurper.
There's grief too. It's harder to see but it's effects are twice as poignant. Nestling in the crevices of her broken heart and in the marrow of her bones is the loss of her friend, her brother, her weapons systems officer, Lieutenant Sebastian 'Homer' Blackwood. It's been almost a year since the incident but it's never left her mind, never will. She was so overcome with grief and regret that her body shut down, she could not fly, she could not fight. She was no longer a pilot, barely even human (Became more ghost than girl).
But she seems to have a guardian angel that believes in her still, someone who has given her a second chance to prove herself capable of being part of the elite. It's back at Top Gun that she'll finally be able to prove her worth. Called back for a secret mission, Nina must face old friends, flames and feuds. But perfection awaits for her return. Everything else must come secondary. Even the yearnings/burnings of her heart.
