NOLAN
I have a perfect view of her through my tactical binoculars. She’s sitting
at her little kitchen table, her back facing the window and the screen of
her laptop aglow in front of her. If the laptop was angled any differently,
I’d have a tough time making out the screen, but she has unknowingly
positioned herself just right. I can see everything she’s doing, and I’m
documenting all the details into the voice recorder sitting in the passenger
seat beside me.
“She’s planning a hiking trip,” I say to the recorder. “Tour du Mont Blanc.
Two weeks from now.”
I watch for several more minutes, silent as I concentrate.
“She’ll be on Flight 724, departing at 9am. Seat 17A.”
After she finishes booking her flight, she closes her laptop and gets up from
the chair. Her generous curves fill the view of my binoculars as she stands
up. My cock throbs at the sight, but I ignore it, as I always do.
Leila disappears from my view. I lower the binoculars and check my
wristwatch. It’s a quarter to four. She’ll be heading to the soup kitchen
soon, where she volunteers on Tuesdays and Thursdays. While I have a
little downtime, I grab my phone and search for tickets for the flight she just
booked.
There are a handful of spots left. One of the open seats is right next to the
one she booked. Goddamn it, I wish I could take that one. My thumb hovers
over the little empty square, a pang of longing aching in my chest.
Instead, I tap one of the empty squares several rows behind her, snapping up
the seat that will give me the best view of her.
As my purchase is being processed, the reality of what just occurred fully
sinks in. A trip abroad together. I know there’s no actual significance to it,
but it feels notable, us going out of the country together.
Guess it was bound to happen eventually. Especially given how
adventurous Leila is.
I’ve been watching after her for five years now, ever since her old man—
my best friend and fellow ex-Navy SEAL—passed away. It was David’s
dying wish that I look after his daughter, a request that I agreed to without a
moment’s hesitation, even though I barely knew anything about Leila at the
time. What I did know was that my dear friend was about to part from this
world, and I was willing to do anything he asked of me.
“But you have to keep your distance, Nolan,” David said, a warning look
flaring in his tired eyes. “If she catches on, she’ll just rebel against it. Better
for everyone if she doesn’t know.”
That part of David’s request surprised me, but I wasn’t about to argue. He
knew his daughter. He understood what was best. And so, without question,
I agreed.
Two days later, he was gone.
At the funeral, I hung back, careful to not draw any attention to myself.
With the number of mourners in attendance, that was easy to do. It was also
easy to identify Leila among David’s surviving family members.
