He figured it was none of his business, but that didn’t quench the uneasy feeling he had; the uneasy feeling that Stebbins made him feel. He looks back at McVries, shaking his head as if it would shake the worry from his mind. “Ready for takeoff?”Â
Garraty shakes a pill into his hand and dry-swallows it. His palms were already sweaty, but it was nothing unusual. “Yeah. I think so.”
“Nervous?”
“A little. I’m not a great flier,” Garraty admits, but it didn’t feel like McVries was judging him for it. In the corner of his eye, he sees Coach board the plane, and knows they’re just about ready to take off. That must be everyone, now. They’ve got practically a full team; Garraty had underestimated how many people were attending.
“Don’t be,” McVries grins and slides the cover of their window open. “Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.”
