Pirates! (One-on-One)

"Okay. Do you want to go first, or do you want me to go first?"

 

"Alright," he said with a nod. He slipped Sawyer into his carrier and got into the harness. He considered Aubrey for a moment before putting a small harness on her as well, strapping her to his belt and settling on the line before wrapping his arms around her.

"Wish us luck."

 

“Thank you. Will you be okay?”

 

He gave her a kiss.

“See you on the other side.”

 

They set off down the line and disappeared quickly into the trees.

 

There was a silence.

 

For a moment, there was silence, just the feeling of the wind against her cheeks.

As she flew through the forest, however, she would hear birds, closer than when she was on the ground. The sun streamed in through the trees, painting the jungle with golden light. The air smelt cleaner than it did in the city, and she moved by a waterfall that sprayed her with mist.

 

The zipline moved her faster, going over hills. She would spot a family of rabbits running along the forest floor.

 

After about 10 minutes, she approached the end, where Jack, Aubrey and Sawyer were waiting.

 

He grinned, taking her in his arms.

"Did you like it?"
