Chapter 185: Home

"Winnie, you can open your eyes. We're home."

His words do nothing for me. "Wheels on the ground?" I clarify with my eyes closed.

Huxley chuckles. "Yes, that was the big bouncing a few minutes ago."

"You promise?" I believe him... Maybe. My stomach flew into my chest at one point during the bouncing so I also feared we took off again and we're circling the Pelican Bay airport for the delight of the pilot so he can land again and watch my expression. If he does, I will puke on something. His shoes.

"Princess, get off the plane." Huxley squeezes my fingers giving a slight tug on my hand.
