you ready?”
    Molly frowned. “I could have paid for my own tea.”
    “I know, but a cup of tea isn’t going to bankrupt me.”
    Molly didn’t imagine it would, but that wasn’t the point.
    Jacob sighed. “You can buy me a cup of coffee next time. Did you bring your camera with you?”
    Molly stood up. “It’s in my car.”
    Jacob nodded. “Let’s go. We can take my truck to the airport.”
    As Molly followed Jacob outside, she realized this wasn’t the ending she’d imagined. It felt remarkably like a new beginning, and that scared her more than the helicopter ride.
     
    ***
    Jacob parked his truck beside hangar three at the airport. Molly hadn’t said much on the ride out here. That in itself was enough to worry him. Then there was the slightly panicked look in her eyes when they’d been stopped by airport security. It couldn’t have been the thought of taking the photos of Emerald Lake that was the problem.
    She’d been nervous in the café, but he put that down to the fact that she hadn’t wanted to be there in the first place. If Emily hadn’t stuck her nose into his business, he doubted Molly would have agreed to meet him.
    That left only one explanation for why her hands were tightly wrapped around the edge of her seat. “Have you flown in a helicopter before?”
    Molly glanced across the cab. She took a deep breath and released her death grip on his upholstery. “No, I can’t say I have.”
    “You’ll be fine. Victor has a perfect safety record.”
    “Is that the name of your helicopter?”
    Jacob couldn’t help the smile that creased his face. “Victor is our pilot’s name.”
    “Oh.” A soft blush hit Molly’s cheeks. “I’m hoping Victor is used to flying with nervous women.”
    “Victor’s used to flying all kinds of people around the country. He should have finished our pre-flight check by now. Come and meet him.”
    Molly reluctantly opened her door and waited for him at the front of his truck. “I’ve never been too fond of flying machines, especially when they have small engines.”
    “Flying is safer than driving a car.”
    “That’s because there aren’t as many aircraft in the air,” Molly said with a logic that made perfect sense. Especially to someone who was scared of flying.
    Jacob kept a steady pace beside Molly as they walked toward the hangar. The helicopter he leased was sitting on the tarmac. Victor was waiting beside it with a clipboard in his hands.
    “Hi, boss. I just need your signature and we’re good to go.”
    Jacob scribbled his name on the form. He didn’t need to look at Molly to know he’d surprised her. Unlike most of the women he’d met, Molly seemed to have an aversion to his money.
    “Molly, this is Victor Nelson. Victor, Molly O’Donaghue.”
    Victor held his hand out. “Nice to meet you, ma’am. Have you ever ridden in a helicopter before?”
    Molly shook Victor’s hand. “No. They don’t seem altogether safe.”
    Victor took Molly’s anxiety in his stride. “Don’t you worry about a thing. I’ve been flying helicopters for the last twenty years. You’re safe with me.”
    Molly glanced at the blue and white helicopter in front of her. “What if the blades at the top stop working?”
    “They won’t stop. Even if the engines aren’t working, we can still make a safe landing. Would it help if I showed you the controls and how everything works?”
    Molly shook her head. “I’ll be fine once we make it back here.”
    Victor turned around and opened the rear door of the helicopter. “In that case, I’d say we’re ready to leave.”
    Molly clambered on board, clicking her seatbelt into place before Jacob made it inside.
    “Sick bags are in the seat in front of you, ma’am.”
    Instead of looking insulted, Molly looked relieved. “Thank you, Victor.”
    Victor looked incredibly pleased with himself. “You’re welcome. You ready, boss?”
    Jacob sat beside Molly and unhooked two headsets from the console in front of
