"We'll be landing soon Miss, you may want to put on your seat belt." The stewardess said as she walked past Sasha. She buckled her seat belt before looking at Kellan.
"What?"
"You heard her, put your seat belt on."
"She said 'Miss'."
"They'll speak to me not you, just...put it on. Okay?" He didn't reply, just fastened it with jerky motions, never looking at her.
As soon as he was done Sasha could feel the plane start its descent.

"Sasha!" Chloe yelled bouncing up and down, waving her arms.
"Chloe!" Sasha ran towards her and they tackled each other. "I missed you." Sasha kissed Chloe's cheek.
"And I, you." Chloe beamed at her. "And who might this hunk of man be?" She grinned, winking at Kellan.
"Kellan." He replied grimly.
"This is my best friend Chloe. She is basically the only person you'll meet that you'll truly like." She smiled linking arms with both of them.
"I'm parked right over there." Chloe said pointing across two drop-off/pick-up lanes.
"Oh my baby!" Sasha cried rushing towards her champagne Hummer. "Did you take good car of her while I was gone?"
"Of course. She's as wonderful as the day you bought her."
"Thank goodness."
"Except for a little coffee stain."
"A what?!"
"It was an accident Sash."
"How is having coffee in my car an accident?"
"Technically it isn't a car, and having the coffee wasn't an accident. Spilling it was."
"You're lucky I love you." Sasha sighed hugging Chloe one more time before hopping up into her Hummer.
When they were all buckled in Sasha pulled out of the parking lot.
"Still clean?"
"As a whistle." Chloe replied.
"Good. Thank you."
"Anytime."
"Okay, Kell, we're gonna go pick up some clothes. We need to be at dinner at 5. That's what they'll be expecting us to show up for. They'll already know we're back of course, but we need to get you ready to meet them. Please keep in mind they can kill us."
"Who is 'they'?"
"Her family." Chloe replied for her.
