prologue

☆

A small smile curved on Aeden's lips as she looked out of the aeroplane window. For the first time, she was leaving Melbourne behind. After a month of travelling through Australia and New Zealand, it was time to go home.

Aeden was glad she finally could go home, however, this journey made her realise how much she needed to move to Oceania, being independent on her own and away from home.

It was sunny outside, there were no clouds. Usually, she flew on the worse times: in the night and in the bad weather. This was one of the first times where Aeden was able to have a look at the tiny countries.

While looking at the view she got, her mind stopped working - in the right way. Finally clearing her mind felt like meditating.

The entertainment system of the aeroplane was insanely good.

There were a lot of films Aeden was planning to see but didn't have the chance to. She was glad She had the time and was being able to watch the films now on the plane.

When the first film came to an end, she was planning on catching up with some work. Her fingers touched the touch screen to look up the flight details. Aeden tightened her jaw when the person next to her was touching her arm

She absolutely got it, they didn't have much space, although the person was in her aura right now. Before she knew it, the head of Aeden's neighbour was softly falling on her shoulder.

She gently moved her head to see what exactly was going on. The young man was asleep.

Great.

Aeden clenched her fists and closed her eyes while sighing annoyingly.

There was an opportunity to wake him up, but she didn't want to.

Maybe something was going on with him, and perhaps this was the first moment he could sleep?

Or maybe he had anxiety?

Or he just broke up?

Or he was just tired?

Aeden opened her eyes and looked at the screen again.

She was being kind and let him sleep. Four more hours to go and a fantastic entertainment system. The option of doing some work wasn't an option anymore.

"Good evening, this is your captain speaking. In less than 45 minutes we will be arriving at Dubai International Airport. It is currently 21:45 and 30º degree celsius. On behalf of Emirates and the crew, thank you for flying Emirates, and hopefully, we will see you soon again," the captain spoke after a few hours.

Aeden stretched her legs and breathed deeply but gently in. The guy was still sleeping with his head on her shoulder.

It gave her two thoughts: he was a stranger, this was odd, and it wasn't as uncomfortable as Aeden thought it would be.

The cabin crew were making their way through the plane to get all the garbage and inform the people to straighten their seats.

"Miss could you wake up your partner, we will be landing soon." The friendly steward asked Aeden.

What partner?

She did what she was being asked and nudged the side of the man with her elbow. The man looked up, and his eyes widened.

"We are about to land," Aeden awkwardly smiled and pressed her lips into a thin line.

"Oh," he mumbled and looked confused around. "Thank you. And I'm sorry," he apologised in a thick British accent. "Have I been asleep for the whole flight?"
