Promises, Promises

By Scribblesinink

"Jake?"

"In here." He wiped off grease-stained fingers, strolling out the hangar.

Heather greeted him with a kiss and a smile. "Brought you a client."

Jake squinted against the light, but couldn't see into Charlotte. "Who is it?" They weren't officially in business yet.

"Oliver." Heather chuckled. "Says you promised to take him to see UFO sites."

Jake groaned. "I did." In exchange for rolls of film.

Heather's expression sobered. "Promise me something?"

"Sure."

"No crashing, okay?"

She must've remembered what came after: how the ASA shot him down. But that wouldn't happen again, ever. Jake kissed her hair. "Promise."
