Jacqui nodded “That does sound wonderful Are you sure?”

Khizar said, “If it helps, there’s a business contact I want towill take an hour, tops, and the rest of the time will be sun, sand, and sea”

“Okay, I’” Jacqui turned to Lyssa “Do you need anything before I go?”

“I’ve got it, boss Have an awesome time”

Khizar pulled out a card, set it on the counter, and scribbled a few things on it He handed it Lyssa and said, “If you can’t get in touch with Jacqui, here’s my contact infor at They’ll have Jacqui’s na, you can call her there, too”

Jacqui was touched by the thoughtfulness in that gesture, and ad that Lyssa could reach her if anything came up

After a quick trip hos—Jacqui wasn’t really sure she was beach-ready—she and Khizar made their way to a small private airport just outside Milwaukee

Khizar parked next to a hanger and carried both of their suitcases inside They were greeted by the pilot, who talked with Khizar for a few ht path

The pilot walked Jacqui outside the hanger to the plane, where a steward took their bags and stowed them inside Khizar followed Jacqui onboard the plane while the pilot finished the pre-fight checklist

Jacqui looked around the interior, noticing that the , brown leather couch sat along one wall, across fro, low cabinet Two plush navy chairs faced each other across a table, and another two chairs sat on the other side of them turned toward each other

There was a wall in the back of the cabin with a door In the front of the plane was a salley half-hidden by a screen, where Jacqui could see the steward preparing a pot of coffee and some food

“Sit wherever you like,” Khizar said, gesturing around the space

Jacqui took a cushy chair facing the dark wood table

“I definitely feel like a princess”

Khizar chuckled as he sat across from her

“Just wait This weekend is about having fun, and indulging in whatever you like So, as you A yet”
