---Adelaide stood on the sidewalk in front of the airport as Brennon walked away from her, hauling his luggage behind him. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, she felt the strangest feeling. One she'd felt before, far too much for what could be considered healthy for a single person. Fear wasn't new to her, but right now it felt foreign. She didn't fear for her safety like she probably should, she didn't fear for her family's safety or being alone in such a huge city, and she didn't fear for Brennon's safety- for she knew he was capable enough to take care of himself. As she stood there, she felt tears brimming in her eyes, but it wasn't watching him walk away that made this so hard, it was the fear that she'd never see him again.---
Brennon Knight and Adelaide Turner sat in the gatehouse of an airport, waiting to board a connecting flight to San Francisco. One was running to something, one running away. They're young, they're total opposites, and they were complete strangers who, as teens usually do, thought they had everything figured out. All it took was a delayed flight, a book, a headache, and a whole lot of secrets for them to see that they couldn't have been more wrong.

Altitude of Love
Avelyn Johnson, a flight attendant with a heart full of wanderlust and a penchant for serendipity, has her usual airport ritual: a steaming caramel macchiato from her favorite coffee shop. As she waits for her order, her attention is drawn to the man in line behind her-Fransisco de la Cruz, a charismatic and sharply dressed realtor with an air of confidence and just a hint of mystery. Their paths collide-literally-when Avelyn turns too quickly, almost causing Fransisco to spill his espresso. Apologies and embarrassed smile are exchanged, and what could have been an awkward moment or perfect chance encounter turns into... Nothing. Before they can explore the spark, the boarding call for their flights interrupts them. They part ways, believing their brief encounter was just a fleeting airport moment. Fate has other plans. As Avelyn takes her place as the second lead flight attendant in charge of the economy cabin on her next flight, she's stunned to see Fransisco seated in first class, reviewing property listings on his tablet. Equally surprised but undeniably pleased, Fransisco can't help but flash her a knowing smile as she welcomes him aboard. Over the course of the flight, their paths intertwine in unexpected ways-shared glances, moments of conversation, and an undeniable connection that grows with every interaction. By the time the plane touches down, both Avelyn and Fransisco know their meeting wasn't a mere coincidence. It was the start of something neither of them saw coming-a story of two souls finding love in the in-between moments of life, where the ground ends and the sky begins. As their lives continue to crisscross through unexpected destinations and heartfelt choices, they'll learn that love, like flight, is about taking risks, embracing the unknown, and trusting the journey.Complete

Bird Wings
Wren's life is about to change forever - but not how she expects it to. Kidnapped on her wedding day, she finds herself trapped in a mountain cave, unable to return home with no company outside of the inhuman creature that took her. *** "Wait, Wren! Not that way!" It was darker here and panic limited her vision, but she could see it reaching for her; its wings like two huge looming shadows behind it. "Get away! Don't touch me! No, let me go!" She shrieked. She screamed in earnest as a hand took hold of her arm, and then even more when her own hand reached for something to hang onto and grasped at empty air. She had been scrambling towards a sudden drop! The hands hauled her back, but she still struggled. She didn't want to look at it, and she still wasn't sure she wouldn't rather take her chances with the open air instead. "Stop it, I'm not going to hurt you! You'll hit your head on the rock or something. Wren, please!" It knew her name. Somehow it knew her. She was going to die! "Let me go! Stop touching me!" She was sitting on the rocky floor now with her back against an uneven wall, and it was trying to pin her down and hold her still. She kept her eyes turned away and struggled helplessly, but it was no use. It was strong like a human man too, and she couldn't keep it off of her. The wings had moved until they curved around them both and shut out a lot of the light. Its face was so near hers that she could feel its breath brushing against her skin. "Please just look at me for a second. Just look. I'm not going to hurt you." One of the hands grabbed her chin and forced her head to turn, and then she was looking straight into a pair of dark brown eyes. It had a human face too. She had been expecting something monstrous or ghastly, and the surprise made her falter for a moment. He looked young, with a bad haircut and an earnest expression on his face. "I'll let go of you, okay? Just don't lunge around like that anymore, you'll get hurt." He whispered.Complete
