CHAPTER 1
Attention Passengers we are now making our decent into Tucson Airport. Please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare to land …
Betty slowly started to gather up her papers. She didn't get much work done on the flight that she would have liked to but she couldn't keep her mind off the "what ifs" of this trip. Betty and the rest of the Mode crew were on there way to Tucson, Arizona for a very special photo shoot that would be in next months issue. Claire who was sitting right next to Betty was also packing up a few things but stopped when she caught a glimpse of the look on Betty's face.
Betty …. Betty sweetie are you alright?
Betty snapped completely out of her trance and whipped her head around finding Claire looking at her with a concerned face.
Um … yea I'm fine … I was just thinking.
A bout what may I ask?
Betty took in a deep breath
Henry …. I mean you know that I would love to see him more than anything in the world … I … I just don't know if my heart could handle it.
Claire grabbed Betty's hand softly. Betty looked down at her hand and then back up to Claire. Claire raised her head and noticed tears coming to Betty's eyes…
I know … But if it makes you feel better what are the chances that you will even see Henry. Just think about it you are going to be so busy with the photo shoot and we don't know where he is or what he's doing now a days, plus he could be really busy with the baby. Your going to be just fine …
I suppose your right ….
Betty slowly drifted back to packing up her papers still thinking of Henry and what Mrs. Meade had said, she was right what are the chances that she would see him. She did really really want to be near him again but knew it was better for her to stay away. She started whispering to herself trying to calm down …
Alright Betty just focus just stay focused .
Still whispering to her self she felt the jolt of the wheels hit the earth snapping her ounce again into reality.
Passengers we hope you have had a pleasant flight if your are visiting Tuscon for business or pleasure Welcome, If you are returning Welcome home …
Everyone walked off of the plain, grabbed their luggage and headed out into the warm sunshine . Betty felt the warmth on her face, she glanced over at Christina who gave her a smile. Betty then smiled back, the first real full smile she had given in weeks, then as she walked over next to Claire she took in a big breath of fresh air …
Yon know what your right … this is going to be just fine.
Two limos pulled in front of all of them everyone split and put their luggage in the trunks. Everyone piled into the limos they were so ready to get to relax at the hotel for a while especially Betty … she was ready to have her mind at ease for a little while, there was no way she could have predicted what awaited her at the hotel …
