I stared at him.
“How could anyone know that?”
“I intend to find out.”
As passengers stood and rushed toward the exit, Marcus remained seated.
“There’s no need to hurry,” he said. “We’ll wait until the crowd clears.”
Annie slowly opened her eyes.
Marcus smiled and gave her a small wave.
To my surprise, she immediately stopped fussing and simply watched him with curious little eyes.
“She seems to be deciding whether she trusts me,” he joked.
“She takes that responsibility seriously,” I replied.
“So she should.”
For the first time since boarding the plane, I smiled.
It didn’t last long.
My phone vibrated.
Three missed calls.
Every one of them from Daniel.
Below them sat a single text message.
Where are you?
A chill ran through me.
Marcus noticed my expression.
“Is that unusual?”
I nodded.
“He almost never calls this much.”
When we finally stepped into the terminal, another surprise was waiting.
