“No matter what happens out there, I
love you Shane.  I want you to know that,
no matter what I’m going to stand with you.” 
Dana said and Shane kissed her, pressing her tongue into her lovers
mouth, ravishing her for a quick moment. 
She wanted to cry, just for having put Dana through this, and for
finally finding love in the last place she’d have looked.  Inside and with Dana Fairbanks.  Shane then hugged her, holding her athletic
body to hers.  Nuzzling her face in
Dana’s chest, feeling the hitching as Dana sobbed softly. 

            Dana didn’t care about her career,
there were other careers.  She didn’t
care about her house, her car.  That was
all material, there was just them against the world, and they were going to
have a ***** of a fight on their hands if they thought they were going to tear
them apart.

            “I know Dana, I know.”  Shane said softly, holding her woman gently
in her arms as someone watched from shadows.

            “Are we going to get there in
time?”  Quin asked Helena who was flying
the plane; Quin was hovering over her shoulder and looking at all the *****,
bells and whistles.  She knew this stuff,
that was the yawn, and that was the yoke. 
The pedals controlled the flaps of the huge jet plane.  Memories flooded her as she reached out and
check the gauge seeing that Helena had climbed higher to catch a tail wind
cutting their time down by a few minutes. 
She was riding the wind, and pushing the jet to its full potential.

            Quin’s green eyes moved over the
cockpit, she did remember how to fly. 
Well ***** her she thought and grinned from ear to ear.             

            “Yes we are going to arrive on
time.  Now go sit down Harlequin.  I’ve rather got my hands full with this hunk
of iron at my fingertips.”  Helena said.

            “I just remembered how much I hate
being called that.  Harlequin, like a
romance novel.  Jesus.”  Quin said with a grunt and a stoic face; Helena
turned and looked at her, she pulled the headgear down and watched Quin move
into the other section of the plane.

            “I will be damned, she’s back.”  Helena said with some joy in her voice,
calling in her position to the tower that she was going to be landing at.  Telling them they’d be early and to have the
car waiting.
