Adrian’s world was crashing down around him.

He could feel the weight of it pressing in, suffocating him. The emails and phone calls, the constant barrage of problems from his rival company—it all felt like too much. Every move he made seemed to be the wrong one, and his company, the one thing he had worked tirelessly to build, was slipping through his fingers. He was failing.

But that wasn’t the hardest part.

The hardest part was the way Isla was looking at him. He could feel her eyes on him, full of concern and frustration, and it made him want to run. He could already see the worry in her expression, the way she was trying to reach him. But he didn’t know how to let her in.

He had spent so much of his life pushing people away, keeping them at arm’s length. He thought he was doing the right thing, thinking that if he could just shield the people he loved from the chaos, they would be safe. But it never worked. In the end, they always left, always ran from the mess he had created

  • Your Lips to Mine #6: Skybound Hearts   Flight 95

    The soft hum of the city outside our apartment had always been a kind of comfort. It was a steady pulse, a reminder that life was always moving, no matter what. But tonight, in the quiet of our little world, I couldn’t shake the feeling that everything was about to change. Adrian and I had been through so much already. The whirlwind of our relationship, the ups and downs, the unexpected twists and turns that life always seems to throw at us. And now, here we were—sitting side by side on the balcony of our home, wrapped in the warmth of the evening air, watching as the city lights flickered like tiny stars beneath us. I looked at him, his profile illuminated by the soft glow of the streetlights below, and my heart did that familiar flip it always did when I thought of how much he meant to me. Adrian Blackwell, the man who had come into my life when I least expected it, but exactly when I needed him the most. And now, we were here, building something together that felt bigger than jus

    Turbulence is one of those things you can’t predict, and no matter how experienced you are, it never quite loses its ability to unsettle everyone. It’s a routine challenge we face on almost every flight, but each time it happens, it’s different. The severity, the length, the reactions of passengers—it’s always a unique experience. But no matter what, it’s my job to stay calm and handle the situation with as much grace as I can. I remember one flight in particular that stands out in my mind. It was a late evening flight, and the sky looked calm as we ascended into the clouds. The passengers were quiet, probably already beginning to settle in for the night. I’d made my rounds, offered snacks and drinks, and was just about to start my routine check when it happened—an unexpected jolt, followed by a few more. The plane began to dip and sway with turbulence so severe that the seatbelt sign stayed on for nearly the entire trip. I’ve been through my fair share of bumpy flights, but this on

  • Your Lips to Mine #6: Skybound Hearts   Flight 93

    As a flight attendant, I’ve seen it all: the joys of a smooth flight, the turbulence that leaves everyone clutching their armrests, and the occasional drama that unfolds when a passenger realizes their luggage has been lost. It's not something that ever seems catastrophic at the time, but it can easily sour someone's day, especially after they've just endured a long, exhausting flight. And trust me, I can totally relate. There’s nothing worse than stepping off a plane, already drained, only to be told that your bags didn't make it. It’s enough to make anyone's mood take a nosedive. But here's the thing: when something goes wrong, it’s up to me—and my fellow crew members—to make sure that passengers feel like they’re not alone in dealing with it. We may not be able to solve every issue immediately, but we can make sure they feel heard and taken care of, which, in my experience, makes all the difference. And in the case of lost luggage, empathy and support can go a long way in turning

  • Your Lips to Mine #6: Skybound Hearts   Flight 92

    A few months ago, I found myself in the midst of one of the most intense situations I’ve ever experienced in my career as a flight attendant. We were cruising at 35,000 feet, just over the Atlantic, when it happened. A medical emergency on a flight isn’t something you ever expect to happen, but when it does, your training kicks in, and the stakes are as high as they can possibly get. The cabin was relatively quiet, passengers settling in for the long haul, when I noticed a woman slumped in her seat, her head resting at an unnatural angle against the window. At first, I thought she was just tired, maybe a bit too drowsy from a long day of travel. But then I saw it—the way her body was limp, the faintness in her complexion. Her lips were pale, her eyes closed, and her hands—clutched in her lap—were completely still. Something was wrong. Something wasn’t right. My heart rate picked up, and the immediate reaction was instinctive, though I had trained for this very moment. I rushed over,

    As a flight attendant, it’s not uncommon for me to encounter passengers who are terrified of flying. It’s one of the more delicate parts of my job, navigating the turbulence of a flight while also soothing the turbulence within a nervous passenger’s mind. But it’s not always as simple as just offering a warm smile or a soft word. Fear can be a very real, very palpable thing for some people, and it takes more than a friendly gesture to ease their anxiety. I’ve always had a knack for calming people down, a quiet ability to be still and present in moments of panic. It’s something I learned over the years, not just from training, but from observing people, reading their body language, and understanding the emotions beneath the surface. Every day I work with people who are on edge in one way or another—some from the stress of travel, others from the uncertainty of what lies ahead. But then there are those who board a plane with a knot in their stomach, a deep-rooted fear that they just ca

    The day has arrived. Our wedding day. The day I’ve imagined in so many different ways, but never quite like this. Every moment feels like a dream, something I’ve been waiting for my entire life. But as I stand here, looking out over the small crowd of our closest family and friends, I know this is real. This is our reality. Adrian and I, finally tying the knot, surrounded by the people who have supported us throughout our journey. The morning has been a whirlwind of activity, with the last-minute preparations coming together as if by magic. The sounds of laughter, the soft hum of music in the background, and the gentle rush of excitement in the air make everything feel so surreal. But in the midst of it all, I’m calm. At peace. This is where I’m meant to be, with the man I love, about to start the rest of our lives together. I’m standing in front of the mirror, adjusting my veil, when I hear the soft knock on the door. “Isla?” Adrian’s voice is muffled through the wood, and I can f
