Tori stared at her reflection in the glass at the airport as the night
darkened outside. She hardly recognized herself. But then, that was
the point, wasn’t it? She glanced around nervously, but so far no one had
recognized her.
Her normally vibrant red hair was now a subdued gray. She never
imagined she’d ever let herself go gray, but now, here she was. Simple
makeup barely highlighted her features. But that, too, was the point.
She glanced at the screen behind the gate agent. Her plane was set for
an on-time departure. She pulled out her phone, checking her ticket she’d
purchased that clearly showed general boarding, not her normal first class.
She couldn’t remember the last time she’d flown anything but first class.
But she wanted to blend in with the crowd. There hadn’t been time to
replace her obviously ridiculously expensive luggage or her designer
handbag. At least she’d tried to pick out the least conspicuous one in her
closet.
She found a simple pair of black slacks and a white blouse in the back
of her closet, along with a wool blazer. Nothing like she would have worn
before, always acting her part. Flamboyant, expensive outfits. Shoes that
cost more than most people made in a week… or a month.
But not anymore. She’d closed the door on her Fifth Avenue apartment
and walked away from all of that. And maybe once she left New York,
she’d feel even more comfortable and less recognizable.
At least that was the plan.
She glanced at the boarding pass on her phone. Passenger: Victoria
Duran. Destination: Sarasota, Florida. Soon she’d board the plane, and
about three and a half hours later, she planned on leaving Victoria behind.
She would simply be Tori. The childhood name that her grandmother called
her.
The ticket agent called for first-class passengers to board, and she
glanced over at them, trying to shove away her jealousy. She waited for her
section to be called and slowly wound her way up to the gate agent. The
agent smiled mechanically at her as she scanned her ticket. “Enjoy your
flight, ma’am.”
Victoria—no, Tori, she reminded herself—nodded in reply, matching
the gate attendant’s automatic smile with one of her own.
She slowly followed the line of passengers down the jetway, each step
taking her further away from her problems. At least that’s what she hoped.
As she entered the plane, she tried to ignore the first-class passengers
and their roomy seats. Why had she never appreciated the perks of first
class when she’d flown before? When she found her row, the gentleman in
the aisle seat stood and helped her swing her bag into the overhead bin, then
let her slip into the middle row seat. There, sandwiched between two broadshouldered men, she settled back for the flight.
The flight attendants walked through the aisle, closing the overhead
bins. The speaker crackled, and soon a perky attendant was explaining all
the safety procedures.
She closed her eyes, hoping that neither man would try to strike up a
conversation. The engines rumbled to life, and the plane shook as it pulled
away from the gate. They taxied out onto the runway and she gripped the
