Chapter 26

I’d spent the two and one half hour flight with my head rested on Evan’s shoulder and my eyes closed.  Part of the reason was because I was exhausted from the trauma of the day, but it was also because I had a foreboding feeling that I wasn’t ready to talk about.  He was very astute when it came to my moods and I was afraid that he would pick up on it.

He gently shook me alert so that I could enjoy the city lights as they boasted the excitement that awaited us once the plane landed.  Since I’d never flown into a city of such magnitude in the dark before, I thought the lights a sight to behold.  I kissed him on the cheek and thanked him for waking me while the flight attendant announced that we were about to land and everyone should be secured in their seats.

The energy of the city consumed me as soon as we stepped out onto the sidewalk and hailed a cab.  I found it a completely different feel to that of Las Vegas.
