glass of the windows in her suite. The daylight in Alaska lasted a long time in July, but the sun had finally set and given way to a brilliant full moon, which was illuminating the snow-covered peaks beautifully. Sawyer was pointing out the different mountains, telling Amanda their names and recounting stories of times he had flown over them with everyone from a little old grandma on her ninetieth birthday trip, to a macho bodybuilder who hadn’t been able to handle turbulence and had been forced to use the barf bag.
    Amanda turned her neck to the right to look at Sawyer. He was focused on the world just beyond the windowpane, and had launched into another story of one of his flying adventures. She was surprised at how tall he was. Amanda herself was tall, and it was rare for her to find a man who stood more than a head and shoulders above her like Sawyer did. For a moment, Amanda wistfully considered the fact that, if she had a boyfriend Sawyer’s height, she could occasionally wear heels to special events and not be looking down at her man. But as soon as the thought entered her mind, she pushed it away. She was unlikely to cross paths with him again after tonight, and he hadn’t done anything to indicate that he was at all interested in anything more than hanging out as friends for the evening.
    Sawyer continued his latest story while Amanda admired his profile. She wished that she could get away with kissing him again, but she knew it was better if she didn’t. Inviting him up to her suite had been risky enough. She didn’t want to look like she was trying to make a move on him, and, hopefully, he understood that. But the bar had become increasingly crowded, and Amanda had started to feel suffocated with all the fancy suits and dresses surrounding her. It seemed a shame to sit uncomfortable in a jam-packed bar when she had this huge, comfortable suite at her disposal. She’d thrown out the idea of coming up here and ordering a bottle of wine through room service, and Sawyer had gratefully agreed. He didn’t seem like the type who enjoyed being in the middle of teeming crowds. He was too much of a free spirit for that.
    Sawyer seemed to sense that Amanda wasn’t really listening to his story anymore, and he looked over to catch her staring at him. “What?” he asked, his eyes softening.
    For a split-second, Amanda considered throwing caution to the wind and moving in to kiss Sawyer again. What did she have to lose, really? She would probably never see him again, so if he refused her advances, the sting wouldn’t be too bad. And if he was interested in having a little fun, well, they both might have an even more enjoyable night than they already had.
    But Amanda stopped herself. Tonight had been magical. She had enjoyed good food, good wine, and good company. She hadn’t had a night like this in what felt like forever, and she didn’t want to cloud the memory by introducing physical pleasure. She didn’t want tonight to be about anything other than two souls, so different and yet somehow so similar, coming together and filling each other’s lives with laughter and happiness for one evening. So she shrugged in Sawyer’s direction, and smiled.
    “Nothing. I was just thinking about how tall you are,” she said.
    Sawyer chuckled. “I get that a lot,” he said. Then he glanced at his watch. “Oh, jeez. It’s well after midnight. I should get going and let you get some rest.”
    “Don’t worry. I don’t have to get up early tomorrow or anything.”
    “Still,” Sawyer said, walking to the coffee table and setting down his now empty wine glass. “I don’t want to be rude.”
    Amanda let out an imperceptible sigh, sad to see their time together coming to an end but knowing it was inevitable. She followed Sawyer to the door, where he paused with his hand on the doorknob and turned to face her.
    “Thanks for tonight,” he said. “I had a great time. It’s been a long time since I just spent hours
