---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.All Rights Reserved

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1) by authorjlberg

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.

Everything Hurts by analiciapaloma

I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.

Novah by Joenique7

Leaving behind the small, sun-soaked island of Jamaica, Novah-Lee Brown boarded her flight to Miami with a heart full of hope and a suitcase packed with more than just clothes. The weight of her past-memories of her mother's death and the suffocating shadows of grief-had followed her for years, pulling her deeper into herself. She craved a fresh start, a chance to breathe again, and she believed the vibrant streets of Florida's big city might offer the escape she desperately needed. But Miami wasn't the sanctuary she had envisioned. The city, with its endless motion and noise, overwhelmed her. She found herself navigating uncharted waters, caught between the chaos of her new environment and the lingering pain she'd tried to leave behind. Yet, even amidst the struggles, Novah-Lee couldn't help but wonder if, somewhere in this unfamiliar world, she might finally find the connection and love she'd been yearning for-a chance to begin again, not by forgetting her past, but by building something new. ****Editing, Changing plot and Characters***

Altitude of Love by Janella_NiNi

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.

Come Fly With Me by FreyaOdin

Scott's a little in love with the new air traffic controller at DFW, as much as he can be for someone he's never seen and who isn't even the right gender for him. She's always professional, but has a sense of fun, and her voice is warm and friendly whenever she's not overstressed. And when she is, or when someone fucks up, she's sassy and sometimes snarky as hell. And okay, maybe it's not really love, but there's a definite girl crush happening, which only seems to grow the more he interacts with her. He's friendly and flirty and happily admires her from afar, and she's just as friendly in response, once she recognizes his voice. But holy shit, he lives in fear of screwing up on her watch and having all that beautiful snark turned on him.
