Could I borrow her? Only I don’t know if the charter company would even allow it. “Bring your own pilot” isn’t standard practice.
Alice’s reply is instant.
Alice
My Angela is your Angela. She’d never turn down a chance to get back in the air. As for the company? Leave that to me.
Kaori
I shouldn’t ask, but what are you planning to do?
Alice
Just something my brother taught me.
Kaori
Which is?
Alice
People go the extra mile for a polite call from a royal and the promise of some positive press.
Kaori
A, no. I’d like to leave the pressout of this.
Alice
Relax. I was thinking of volunteering Eddie for a charity flight and a photo op at a date TBD. It’s exactly the sort of currency these companies trade in.
Kaori
You’re not interested?
Alice
Absolutely not. The closest I get to helicopters is the flying elephants at Disney.
I laugh to myself.
Kaori
What would I do without you?
Alice
You’d figure it out eventually. Now—have you thought about what you’re wearing?
Kaori
No. Jeans? A jumper?
Alice
No, no, no! You need something to remind your bloke why he can’t live without you.
