On the way back, Luna did not talk to Brodie. To be exact, she was a little nervous. She was nervous when she boarded. She was also nervous when the plane took off and was stiff all over during the flight as if she was being tortured.
It was indeed a long flight.
The plane shuddered when it encountered the air current halfway.
Luna let out a low scream.
Brodie stretched out his hand and held Luna's. Luna blushed, wanting to pull her hand back. But the man was so strong that she could not get rid of him.
Brodie whispered softly and gently, "Don't be afraid. It will be over soon."
Luna turned around and looked at Brodie carefully. She was in a trance. Brodie seemed to be too attentive.
Brodie asked, "Are you cold?"
Luna shook her head.
Brodie tested the temperature of Luna's palm and called the flight attendant, "Please fetch us a blanket."
The flight attendant took the blanket and handed it to Brodie. Brodie slowly tucked Luna in with one hand and still held her hand firmly with the other.
Luna slept for about eight hours of the 14-hour flight and was groggy for the rest. Brodie held her hand the whole way through until the plane landed.
"Go straight home? It's Sunday. Cindy is home." Brodie looked at Luna and asked gently.
Still a bit slow, Luna nodded yes.

Luna thought for a moment, "No. Let's take one step at a time."
Brodie added, "Then do you want to help me take care of Cindy? In this case, you can have a job and live with Cindy. Unless you agree, I won't cross the line."
Luna knew that Brodie must have planned all the things and had told Jason. Otherwise, Jason would not have allowed her to come back.
Luna looked out of the window.
The shadows of trees outside flashed past her, casting grotesque shadows on her face. She closed her eyes and said, "Thank you, Mr. Melton. If you insist."
She had her own plan.
She thought that she would find a job after she became better.
