“I’ll change his mind.” Cayden’s voice deepened, sending shivers down Lillian’s spine.
They were quiet for a minute. She thought carefully how to word what she wanted to say. At last she looked at him out of the corner of her eye. “Hey,” she whispered.
“Hey.”
“Kiss me.”
“Huh?” he asked, taken aback.
“I said, kiss me. Real quick, since I’m driving. But make it sexy as hell.”
“You don’t have to tell me twice.” He leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth.
Lillian kept her eyes on the road and made thinking noises for a moment. “Hmmm. Yep.”
“Yep what?”
She nodded again. “Just as I suspected.”
“You’re being weird, Lil. What did you suspect?”
“It’s just the same as the first time.”
Cayden chuckled. “Which first time?”
“When you kiss me, I still get butterflies. Just like I did the first time you kissed me.” She had never been more pleased that the car was dark, so he couldn’t tease her about her tomato-red cheeks.
“I do have that effect on people,” he boasted, puffing up his chest. “Oh, I’m in terminal one. This is the turn.”
Lillian parked the car in the temporary parking lot and rushed into the airport with Cayden. He knew exactly where check-in was; Lillian had to practically run to keep up with his long, hurried strides. He had no baggage, so in no time he was ready to walk through security.
They walked around to find the big screen with all the flight statuses displayed. “I don’t see your flight on here,” Lillian said, staring at the screen.
“They change all the numbers on here so fast,” Cayden grumbled. “I don’t even have time to look for mine.”
“Wait!” She grabbed his arm and pointed. “Is that it?”
Cayden mumbled the flight number to himself and nodded. “Yeah, that’s it.”
“It’s due to leave early.”
He grunted. “Well, that’s something new. I guess I’d better walk through now.”
“I don’t want you to,” Lillian pouted as they headed toward security.
Taking her head in his hands, he kissed her on the nose. “I’ll be back this Friday.”
“Text me the details, okay?”
“I’ll send them to you when I’m inside.”
“Are you staying with Janine tonight?”
“Obviously. She wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Lillian put her hands on her stomach. “I’m getting nervous.”
“Why? You’re not even flying.”
