Jilian sat there, watching the different passengers. Flying always made her nervous, especially since 911. Still, it was nice getting away for a bit. And she was looking forward to seeing her family. Seven years had passed since her last visit. This was a special occasion. Louisa, her eldest sibling was getting married to Dane, a childhood friend.
Dane. She smiled as she remembered how kind he had been to her when at eight years old, she’d fallen off her bike and scraped her knee. He’d made her smile through the tears. She especially looked forward to seeing him again.

Dear Adele,
It sounds like perhaps Jilian had more on her mind than her sister’s marriage. Nicely done.
Shalom,

She’s obviously more interested in seeing Dane! This could end uncomfortably.

I found that last line a bit unsettling. Older sister had better keep a sharp eye on younger sister 🙂

You’re right, Linda. It is unsettling and her sister should keep both eyes on her 🙂

I think she’s more willing to fly in order to see Dane, not for her sister. This will end badly! Well-written story. 🙂
