peace

Joe.

"Oh, hi." Lisa continues

"Hi, so, about before.." Joe began,

"No, please, no, don't go there again."

"No, just here me out.." Lisa stopped to listen and sighed

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry, and I shouldn't have brought it up, but, it would just be nice, to, you know.."

"Yes i know." replied Lisa, "And I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have flipped out on you."

"Well, I just wanted to say that, you should be on the plane now, right? Bye." Joe said

"Ok, oh, wait,"

"What?"

"I'm workin' on it." she heard Joe sigh, "Bye."

She hung up.

"Who was that?" asked Jack

"Oh, nobody. Just work." Lisa lied

Jack sighed, "Work, for the last time."

Lisa quickly turned her head for no reason to hear the flight captain over the P.A talk about turning off phones and stuff.

She turned off her phone. It made a loud beeping sound that always irritated her.

She turned her head again, this time to hear two boys arguing, like all boys do, one of them talking about how's the plane's gonna go down, "We're not gonna make it."

"Shut up."

"I'm telling you, we're not gonna make it."

"Shut up, or I'll punch you in your fat face, just shut up."

"Just kidding, c'mon."

Lisa turned back, relieved at the 'Just kidding.'.

The turbulence made Lisa sick by rocking her in her seat.

"Are we there yet?" she breathed

Brushing away that comment, Jack sat back comfortably in his seat, "So, was Henrietta your mom's mom, or your dad's mom?" he asked

Lisa replied, "My mom's, my dad's.." she was interrupted by the rocking in her stomach.

"Mmmm.. My dad's died a long time ago."

"Are your folks still together?"

"No, they divorced three years ago, married for 12."

"That's a shame, so your mom..?"

"Mom moved back to Texas, Dad stayed in Miami."

"I see. So does your Dad still work?" Lisa paused for a minute, thinking he was trying to turn their conversation into a Dad-Fest trivia.

"Yeah. No!" Lisa tried to get back on her feet after that little slip from all the turbulence.

"He's recently retired. He's got a lot of time on his hands, so he makes a lot of phone calls."

"So he's filling all his work time with.."

"Worry time." she finished his sentence while still clinging to the seat with terror.

"Does he have reason to worry about you?" he asked with some smartness to it.

Lisa paused, thinking, "And so it begins."

"Well, even if he does, I mean, he's gotta get used to the fact that life changes and sometimes, things happen." she thought back to the grandchildren conversation, but looked at it with more feeling, and thought, "Hey, maybe he does want grandkids."

Then Jack started talking, ruining her moment with manipulative conversational tricks, "I know what you mean, usually when things are back on track, everything's going to plan, then suddenly, out of nowhere, somebody forgets to bolt the engine to the wing."

While fake-chuckling, Lisa thought hard about that comment, then shrugged it off when she thought, "Heehee, that's funny. Or is he serious?"

Lisa shifted when she heard the co-captain say something about weather, weather, weather, weather, seat belts, seat belts, seat belts, more turbulence.

"More turbulence?!" Lisa thought, as she froze to her seat.
