“Sorta. So there I was, with a degree I had no desire to use and no idea what I was going to do with my life. I had a friend whose mother worked for the airlines and I was bitching about finding a job I enjoyed and she suggested the flight-attendant thing.” Rayne shrugged. “So yeah, I figured I could see the world while I decided what and where I wanted to work. And here I am, six years later, still seeing the world—or at least the airports of the world—and still trying to decide on what the perfect job is for me.”
“It doesn’t sound like a bad thing to do for a living,” Ghost said.
“It’s not. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy what I’m doing, I wouldn’t be doing it otherwise, but it’s not what I want to do for the rest of my life. I really am a homebody. I might go out and try to see some of the cities that I have layovers in, but it’s not much fun to explore by myself and sometimes the cities don’t feel that safe.”
“If they aren’t safe, you shouldn’t be wandering around,” Ghost told her matter-of-factly.
“I understand that. But some of the places, I know I’ll never get the chance to see again.”
“That shouldn’t matter. You could get killed, or raped, or kidnapped in some of those places…so you might see them, but it’s not worth your life or your health.”
Rayne nodded in agreement. “You’re right. And just in case you’re feeling smug that you can order me around, I’d already decided to be a bit more cautious when I’m overseas now that ISIS has gotten completely bat-shit crazy and has no moral compass whatsoever.”
Ghost smiled at her cheekiness. “Good. How long before you think—”
His words were interrupted by the automated voice over the intercom.
We regret to inform you that flight eight twenty-three has now been canceled. Please see an airline representative to reschedule your flight. Heathrow Airport apologizes for any inconvenience.
Ghost stood up and held his hand out to Rayne. “So, since it’s not safe to wander around by yourself…want to explore London with me?”
