A/N: I am SO sorry that this took so long to get out. If you read my note
on my author's page, you know that I came down with the flu, so I've been
sick for a pretty long time. To add to that, my aunt just died, so I have
to attend her funeral soon. Sounds fun, huh? Anyways, sorry this is so
short, but enjoy and please review!

Window seat thirty thousand feet above the ground
Blue moon beams on silver wings brings me down
Slippin' off my coat for the long night flight
I find a note she wrote last night
I can almost hear those words as I close my eyes
~*~
Hadn't I promised you, not that long ago, never to leave your side again? Yet here I'm sitting, tens of thousands of miles off the ground, speeding in the sky towards California. Quickly, I calculate the time in New York. It was 3 in the morning; way too early to call, though the urge to hear your beautiful voice is tempting.
" Sir? Would it help your sleep if you pulled down the window shade?" A concerned flight attendant motions to it, careful not to disturb my snoring seat partner.
" Hmm? No, I'm fine, thanks. I'm hoping to catch the sunrise." Just to prove my point, I tap the camera in my lap. With a curt nod, she spins away, her bushy black hair making a faint swish sound. Your hair isn't like that in any way, other than the color. Your hair is soft, and sweet smelling, and made for nuzzling in it on lazy mornings. Lord, if only you knew how much I miss you at this moment.
Reaching into my jacket pocket, I slip out a little piece of paper, all neatly folded like a tiny package, and lightly breathe in your scent that radiates off of it...
-------------------
" Adam, I love you, and I want you home safe." I tried to assure you that it was only a brief convention, but just that it was across the country brought fear into your heart.
" Tan, sweetheart. I gave you my oath to be with you until we are old and falling apart, and even then, they'd have to pry me off you with a crowbar." My poor attempt at a joke worked, as a smile pushed away some gathering tears.
" Okay. I wouldn't want you breaking that already by doing something stupid." Suddenly, your arms were tight around my neck, and your head was buried in the crook of my neck.
" I miss you already. Oh, I'm going to miss you so much!" Your sobs made my heart wrench, but all I could do was rub your shoulder and kiss your temple.
" I will too, but just think of how sweet the homecoming will be." I wiped a tear from your cheek and gave you a long hard kiss, just as the intercom shouted out my plane's boarding call. Just as I bent down to grab my duffel, I felt you push something into one of the zippered pockets.
" Don't open it until you're almost in Angel Grove." One more kiss, strong enough to last the few days, before I hurried to catch my flight.
--------------
Carefully, I undid the paper, until a small notecard remained. A grin touches my lips as I read the very first line...
Adam,
I know you will only be gone for no more than three days, and I'm probably making too big a deal out of all this, but this will be the first time you've left me since before our marriage. For some reason, I think I'm going to miss stuff that really isn't that important, yet to me makes it special. I am going to miss your arms around me when I'm trying to make dinner, and the way you wink at me when I stumble during my martial arts exercises. I will also miss the warmth of you next to me when I wake up in the morning, and the way you make me feel safe when we lay down to sleep at night. I love you with all my heart Adam, and I want you to come home to me. Promise me that you'll call as soon as you get into Angel Grove, no matter what the time. Also, say hi from me to Kat and Jase and everyone else. Sweet dreams tonight from home.
Yours,
Tanya
P.S. Remember, call me WHENEVER you get there... even if it's 4 in the morning here

I couldn't help chuckling at the postscript. You knew me much to well, and that I'd do all that I could to give you the most rest possible. A lipstick kiss was placed on the bottom of the note in dark red, and not wanting to smear it, I ran my finger over the mark and thought of you. Right now, you'd be sleeping quietly in our queen-sized bed, your coffee colored skin contrasting with the ivory sheets. Outside our apartment, Manhattan would just be quieting down until the coffee shops opened for breakfast at 6.
Slowly, I returned my thoughts to the present time and looked out the window. The sun had begun to peek out from behind the horizon, and streaks of pinks and oranges started flooding the sky.
*Snap*
Perfect shot, I thought to myself. I can't wait for you to see it.
~*~
Goodnight, sweetheart,
sleep tight, wherever you are
God hold you in his arms while we're apart
Though you're far away your love will stay
Tucked away here in my heart
Goodnight, sweetheart, sleep tight, wherever you are

A/N: By the way, I am so sorry for my previous chapter. It was meant to be a Blake/Tori, but I guess I took the Hunter/Tori tension a little to far. So to apologize to all the disgruntled Blake/Tori fans, I'm writing a new chapter for them and labeling the last chap. Hunter/Tori. Confusing, I know.
Neri: I'm really sorry I disappointed you! That wasn't my intent! Sierra: Yeah, I'm not a big PRNS fan either... thanks for the review!
Gwenyth Hunter: Wow, thank you very much for the compliments! Here's an Adam fic, just as you asked!
Tasha: Thanks for the song! I'll try and write a Shane/Skyla using it!
Rain: Heh heh... yup, it can be interpreted either way! Thank you for your praise and for reviewing!
Redwolf: Yeah, I know I did... Thanks for the applause!
