A Taste of Freedom
“Ready when you are, my wife,” Caspian said after properly carrying Anastasia for the flight.
Anastasia tightened her grip around Caspian’s neck and pressed her forehead on Caspian’s shoulder. And after tightly shutting her eyes, she replied, “I am ready.”
Caspian could see how nervous his wife was. So, he consolingly said to calm her down, “I promise I will fly as slowly as I can. So, you don’t have to worry, okay?”
Anastasia nodded her head without lifting it from his shoulder.
Caspian subtly smiled and then walked towards the window instead of the door.
Anastasia could feel that they were heading in the opposite direction of the door, so she asked, “We’re jumping out of the window?”
“Yes.” Caspian looked at the window that was large enough for him to stand on. And before flying through, he warned Anastasia one last time, “Brace yourself. We’re going to fly now.”
