I had never been on a plane before.
The entire flight, my heart had been lodged in my throat, an unrelenting weight of fear pressing against my chest. The moment the engines roared to life, my hands had turned ice-cold, gripping the armrests like my life depended on it. But Jacob had been there, warm and steady, his fingers lacing through mine without hesitation.
"It's just a big, floating metal bird, Nat," he had said, voice laced with amusement. "We'll land in one piece, I promise."
His humor didn't help, but his presence did.
