I stayed with them at their cabin this weekend so that we could spend time with Sophia and not have to worry about getting her back to Willow Creek. I had my jet ready and waiting for us at the small airport here. The best thing about being able to afford one is not having to worry about boarding times. We could leave whenever Tanya was ready to go.

We are at Kayla’s now to drop Sophia off, but Tanya won’t let her go.

“Mommy!”

Sophia tries to pull out of Tanya’s arms, but she doesn’t get very far.

“Let Mommy hug you, child. I’m not going to see you for a whole week!”

I snicker from my spot on the couch, and Tanya glares at me. I hold my hands up.

“We don’t have to go.”

Sophia looks at me with a pout.

“But I want to stay with Aunt Kayla.”

“Alright, alright. We’re going. I’m going to miss you so much.”

Tanya grabs Sophia’s face in her hands and kisses her all over her face until Sophia is in a fit of giggles. She finally lets her go, and Sophia walks over to me, her face serious.

“Don’t let Mommy stay. I want to spend the week with Aunt Kayla.”

I snort, and Tanya throws a pillow at me. I dodge it and lean over to kiss Sophia’s head.

“I won’t; I promise. I’m going to miss you, Soph.”

She smiles up at me with her sweet little face and jumps into my arms. I hug her tightly to me and then let her go to go stand by her aunt while I try to get her stubborn mother out the door.

“Come on, babe. We want to get there today.”

She rolls her eyes at me and waves at Sophia the whole way to the car. Steven opens the door for us, and I can see him holding back a smile at her dramatics. We get in the car, and once we are settled and Steven takes off for the airport, Tanya turns to me.

“She wasn’t even a little upset that she’s not going to see me for a week.”

I pick up her hand and kiss the back of it.

“She will miss you, and once we get back, she is going to be so excited to see you.”

“She better.”

“Are you going to be okay with this drive?”

She looks out the window nervously before looking back at me.

“Yeah, it’s a short drive so I can handle it; I’m not sure how I’m going to handle the plane though. I have no memories of ever being on one.”

I nod in understanding. We talked about this over the last few weeks. Whenever we flew before, she never seemed to have any issues and never told me of any, but that was before she was in a horrific accident.

“It will be okay. We won’t be on a crowded plane, and there is plenty that we can do to keep you busy.”

She raises an eyebrow at me and crosses her arms.

“I’m not having sex with you on a plane.”

I burst into laughter.

“I didn’t mean that but let me know if you change your mind. I like that it’s where your mind goes.”
