270 Arrivals and Departures

They had taken a private plane from an airport two hours outside of Winter that Ashleigh had no idea existed.

While they flew over the snow-covered mountains of Winter, Ashleigh stared out the windows at the clouds and the sky in complete shock and amazement. Never had her home looked so beautiful.

Caleb handed her a bundle of documents, a passport, an identification card, and several other documents she didn’t recognize.

“What is all this?” she asked.

“These are all your travel documents,” he smiled. “Usually, it takes weeks, maybe even months, to get them, but Nessa and Clara make an impressive team.”

Ashleigh turned the documents over in her hands, unsure what she should do with them. She set them down on the table between them.

“Would you like me to hold onto them?” Caleb asked.

Ashleigh glanced up and looked away with a hint of embarrassment.

“I’m just not sure what I am supposed to do with them,” she said quietly.

Caleb smiled.
