Wings of the Heart by Sherry Aab Ch 1

Sometimes love isn’t about where you land…but who catches you on the way down.***One clumsy fall in LAX and my life shifts midair.He catches me—this gorgeous, maddeningly calm Australian with an accent that short-circuits my brain: "Whoa, we want you on the plane, not under it." He says with a smile that should be illegal.I laugh it off...nervously.Then I board my flight to Sydney… and realize that he’s flying the plane.I’m traveling halfway across the world to adopt a little girl named Dorothy.He’s raising his daughter alone after losing his wife, balancing bedtime stories with international long-haul trips.We talk mid-flight, at the upstairs bar no one tells you exists.And something starts to spark—quietly, impossibly—before we even touch the ground.In Sydney, our paths keep crossing..But I’m a nurse with a life in Connecticut.He’s a pilot grounded in Australia.And this time, love might not be enough to close the distance.
