I Am the Captain
Molly studied the man behind the wheel. “Thank you for the lift. Again. Bloody rental car.”
Martin pulled the van into another intersection and nodded. “No problem. It’s not as if I could have left you on the side of the road.”
“Everyone else did.”
He glanced her way and caught her staring. Both of them blushed.
“So, you’re staying at a hotel?”
Molly nodded. “Here on vacation.”
“What, in Fitton?!”
She laughed at the sheer disbelief in his voice. “Needed to get away from the city and relax for a bit. You?”
“Permanent resident.“ He seemed a little depressed about it.
She wanted to distract him from whatever was making him melancholy. “Are you a mechanic? You figured out the car was a lost cause awfully quickly.”
“No, but my dad was. I’m a pilot. Most of the time.” That seemed to perk him up. “Captain, actually. It’s, uh, it’s a small plane. Charter and cargo flights. But I get to travel all over the world.”
“Sounds exciting. I’ve never flown in something like that before.”
“Would you like to?” he asked in all seriousness.
Molly beamed at him. “Are you serious? Can we?”
“Well, I am the captain.”
