For now, his
part in the rescue was done. By rights, he should be setting the helicopter
somewhere out of the way until he had his next orders. But that wasn’t
happening. Styx continued to hover over the crash site.
“Styx?” The
sweetest voice spoke in Styx’s ear.
“I’m here,
honey.” Styx’s injury wasn’t the cause of his hoarse voice. Love swelled in
Styx’s heart, causing his throat to close with emotion.
“I just wanted
to let you know I was okay.” Flyer’s voice was shaky but strong.
“I wasn’t
leaving until I heard how you were doing.” Styx needed Flyer to know that he
would always be there.
“Styx.”
“Yeah, honey.” Styx
heard something in Flyer’s tone that said this was important.
“I… um…wanted to
say…um… me too.”
Styx smiled as
happiness filled his being. Flyer loved him. “Me too, honey, me too.”
Shifting the helicopter
to a higher altitude, Styx went to find a place to set down until the captain
told him how to proceed.
