Wind whipped at Elodie’s face, blurring the world around her.
Yet through the chaos, she saw a figure leap from the plane—a silhouette dressed in jet black, so vivid it seared into her vision. That face had haunted her dreams for days now. Even though she tried to dismiss what Watts had said, a part of her soul recoiled in fear, waking her over and over from nightmares where she watched him vanish before her eyes.
Now, he was no longer a dream. He grew clearer, closer with every heartbeat.
In that moment, Elodie’s mind hadn’t even caught up with her racing emotions. She steadied herself, then ran straight toward him.
At last.
Beneath the slowing propellers, Elodie crashed into a pair of warm, strong arms.
Jarrod moved fast.
From a distance, he’d seen her being chased. He was so desperate to reach her that he jumped from the plane before it had even come to a stop.
And finally, in that instant, he caught her—his entire world.
He could feel Elodie’s heart pounding as if it might burst.
She clung to him desperately, holding him tight as if to make sure he was real.
“It’s alright. I’m here to take you home.” He bent low, gently patting her back, trying to ease the terror that still lingered in her.
All the composure Elodie had forced upon herself these past days finally cracked.
The thought of Jarrod’s death had gnawed at her heart, eating away at her whenever she was alone.
She’d been forced to comfort herself, searching for reason after reason, telling herself that someone like Jarrod would always find a way through.
But none of those reassurances could compare to seeing him now, alive before her eyes.
She broke down completely.
It felt like getting back something she’d lost forever.
“You’re okay…you’re okay, that’s all that matters…” she whispered into his chest, squeezing her eyes shut, her voice trembling.
Jarrod had never seen Elodie like this before. Her fear for him made him smile, but her confusion and panic twisted something inside his heart. He said nothing, only held her tighter.
