Ray finally was letting Henry try flying the helicopter. But not the Man Copter first. Just one he rented out just in case. Juniper was happy Ray was finally giving Henry a chance. She knew he was ready. They've been practicing nonstop after school, and Juniper made sure to study with him and give him some last minute tips. Henry was nervous but excited. He was ready for this. He felt ready, at least.
"So, are you ready?" Juniper asked, giving him a reassuring smile.
"I think so. Are you going to come with us?" He asked, hoping she would. He would be lying if he said he didn't feel better having her around. She knew a lot about flying and would definitely keep him calm and focused.
Juniper hesitates, glancing at Ray who was already in the helicopter. "I don't know, Henry. Maybe this is something you and Ray need to do on your own. I don't want to intrude. I don't wanna feel like I'm babysitting again either." She adds, glancing back at him and sighing at seeing the puppy dog eye look he's giving her. "Dang it," She whines, booing him for giving her that look since he knew she usually caved in at it. "Don't give me the puppy eyes. That's not fair." She pouted, crossing her arms over her chest.
Henry let out a mock groan, dramatically dropping his head to the side. "But, Junebug, you're my good luck charm. How am I supposed to be a pro pilot without you there?" His tone was playful, but there was a glint of genuine hope in his eyes.
Her heart flutters and she ignores her face heating up at his words. "I'm your good luck charm?" She asked, raising an eyebrow but unable to keep the soft smile from her lips.
"Of course," Henry said without hesitation, stepping closer to her. "You're my Junebug. You've been there for every step of this—practicing, studying, cheering me on. You're the reason I feel ready."
There goes her heart skipping a beat again. Juniper rolls her eyes playfully, though her cheeks flushed. "You're giving me way too much credit. You've put in the work. I just...Gave a nudge here and there."
