“Mother,” Jacinta moved onto the plane sashaying like she was walking a runway, “please do not beg on your hands and knees. It is beneath you. Jacqueline is simply too hard nosed and strong–willed to bend or soften so quickly. Please get up and give her the space she feels she needs.”

“Jacinta,” Jacqueline looked up at her, “why the fuck are you even here? You don’t like me so it’s not to bond with me? Is it to sabotage me with our parents?”

“I love you!” Jacinta protested loudly. “How can you say such things? I simply don’t understand how you can be so cold to mummy when she’s so desperate to forge a relationship with you. We are warm and nurturing people, and you are nothing like us and you refuse to budge an inch. I am concerned for mummy’s wellness, and you don’t seem to care at all.” She batted her lashes at her mother as she pulled her to her feet and escorted her away from Jacqueline, “come Mummy, I will help you get settled into your seat and calmed down. Perhaps in time, Jacqueline will soften her heart and be less accusatory.”

Jacqueline shot her brother a quizzical glance, “go ahead. Get it off your chest before we take off. Tell me how I’m a

horrible daughter and sister who doesn’t deserve her family.”

“I didn’t say that and I certainly don’t feel that way. Do not

put words into my mouth.” Jack glowered at her. “I love you very much, but this temper tantrum must come to an end.”

“Get the fuck off my plane,” Wilder said moving to stand between Jack and Jacqueline. “She might be your sister, but she is my,” he caught himself as he saw Wraith watching the argument, “girlfriend and you cannot give her the respect she deserves.”

“I’m not getting off the plane. You want me off, throw me off, but I’m going where my sister is going. I swear to fuck you two are poisoning her against us.”

“You’re doing a fairly good job of that on your own.” Jacqueline spoke up. “If you’re coming, sit the fuck down so we can go?”

“This is her first flight. She’s nervous.” Rafferty gave her brother Jack a push towards the back of the plane. “Go and sit down.”

Wilder went to talk to the pilot and Rafferty pushed the Frost family behind them. Wraith looked at her across the aisle 2/7

and mouthed “holy fuck!”

“Right?” she asked with a shake of her head. “Insane.”

“Why are they so big?” Wraith hissed across the aisle. “They look like they ate an entire farm’s worth of livestock. Even she is taller than me. I’m five–ten. I’d need to wear heels to look her in the eyes.”

She giggled at the comments from Wraith. “I feel the size of a pixie.”

“Tinkerbell.” Wraith commented with a grin, “were you

adopted or something?”

“Worse.” She made a face as the quartet were arguing in the back with Rafferty over something. “I was kidnapped at birth and put into foster care. I’ve only recently been found. I’m thinking the New York City smog stunted my growth.”

Wraith’s mouth opened and closed in disbelief, “someone kidnapped you?”

“Yup. Stole me right out from the nurse’s arms after my mother pushed me out. I was less than an hour old when I was found at a local hospital here. At least they put me in a 3/7

hospital and simply not flushed me or something. I wasn’t much bigger than a sewer rat so I would have fit.”

“My bet is the She–hulk back there.” He jerked his thumb in Jacinta’s direction. “Those eyes are like a shark’s. She doesn’t like you, despite her claim otherwise.”

“Thank you!” she threw her hands up in agreement. “That’s what I said! She’s colder than her name, let me tell you.”

“Frost! Ha! That’s a good one.”

Rafferty moved back to their row and gave Wraith a shove back into his own seat and then sat down next to Jacqueline. “Stop flirting with my girl.”

“They’re fucked,” Wraith said seriously. “That’s the weirdest family I ever met.”

“They are normal where we come from. Family is very close and touchy feely.”

“Stop defending them,” Wilder said as he sat back down in the seat opposite them. “The second we said she could get on the plane she broke her promise. She’s pushing too hard and it’s pissing me off. If he can’t get his family under control 4/7

King Jack can suck my dick and get off my plane.” He then looked at Wraith, “you however keep your dick in your pants.”

“Wouldn’t it be good for my image if instead of someone underage I was photographed with someone older?” Wraith winked boldly at Jacqueline and she giggled.

“Don’t even think about it.”

Wraith laughed and then looked up as his mother who was

oblivious to the world as she sat in her own little bubble of

solitude. “I don’t know what is worse. Her absence or her,” he

jerked his thumb to the back, “overbearingness.”

“I know which I’d prefer,” Jacqueline grunted. She looked at Wilder, “how come I don’t get headphones.”

“Because we’re going to spend the flight talking and getting

to know each other better.”

“Jacqueline?” her father’s voice called from behind her and she looked over the back of the seat to stare at him.

“What is it?”

“I apologize for the scene a few moments ago. I’ve spoken 5/7

with your mother, and she’ll do better moving forward.”

“Sure.”

The sad look on Jack’s face made her sigh loudly, “look, I don’t hate you or her but keep Jacinta away from me. I don’t trust her as far as I can spit.”

“She means well,” Jack said softly and reached over the seat to smooth Jacqueline’s hair, “but I will do better at mediating. You are loved, Jacqueline. Do not forget this.”

“At the risk of sounding like the cold bitch, Jacinta accused me of being, I don’t love any of you yet. Love and respect

aren’t something I freely give out, it’s earned. Right now, all I have seen are people who demand and give me nothing in return but stress and anxiety.”

“We will do better daughter.”

“Take your seat Jack. The flight is about to take off.” Wilder interrupted. “You’ve done enough for now.”

As he took his seat, Jacqueline could feel the weight of this trip already pinning her to the ground. If she hadn’t been dreading this entire next four weeks before, she definitely 6/7
