she was that sacrificing . '' |
`` that was really amazing of her to be that giving . '' |
when pesh remained silent , megan knew it was time for a conversation change . |
`` now that i know we 're going to savannah , are you going to tell me where we 're going for dinner ? '' |
he smiled . |
`` it 'll probably be a late lunch when we get there . '' |
`` so , where will our late lunch be ? '' |
`` do you like the historic district ? '' |
`` i love it . '' |
`` good . |
i 've picked a restaurant there for us . '' |
`` do you come to savannah often ? '' |
`` a couple of times a year , mainly for medical conferences on the coast . '' |
`` and you always fly ? '' |
`` i do , '' he replied , with a smile . |
the flight took less time than she thought , and with clear weather , it was totally smooth . |
as they started making their descent , pesh glanced over at her . |
`` are you ready for the landing ? '' |
`` sure . |
why would n't i be ? '' |
`` it can be a little intense for some people . |
you see a lot more of the ground rushing at you than when you 're in a 747 . '' |
she cocked her head at him . |
`` i went skydiving , remember ? '' |
`` ah , that 's right . '' |
with a wink , he added , `` you 're my little adrenaline junkie . '' |
megan laughed . |
`` i was . |
not anymore . '' |
`` what changed all that ? '' |
`` mason . |
when you 're responsible for the health , safety , and happiness of someone else , your entire perspective changes . '' |
`` he 's a true gift . '' |
she jerked her gaze to him . |
`` yes , he is . '' |
pesh gave her a small smile before radioing the tower . |
once he had clearance to land , they started rapidly losing altitude . |
the runway got closer and closer until the plane jolted forward and then began skidding along the pavement . |
when it finally came to a shuddering stop , megan exhaled the breath she 'd been holding . |
`` still okay ? '' |
pesh asked . |
she grinned . |
`` never better . '' |
the sound of the tower came in her headset as pesh listened to the instructions . |
the plane started rolling toward one of the hangers . |
once he had parked and powered down the plane , he got out to help her . |
after a quick talk with a member of the grounds crew , pesh took her hand and led her out of the hanger . |
a cab waited to take them into the city . |
she laughed as she slid across the seat . |
`` what ? '' |
pesh asked . |
`` i 'm surprised by the cab . |
i thought you might really go upscale by having a limo or chauffeur-driven car pick us up . '' |
`` i like to stay humble , '' he replied with a wink . |
she shook her head at him before turning to gaze out the window at the scenery . |
when they began winding through the antebellum homes of the historic district , megan felt her stomach growl . |
she 'd been too nervous to eat breakfast , and then she had n't dared eat at chuck e. cheese 's . |
the cab stopped outside a chic looking restaurant . |
as pesh paid the driver , megan hopped out and took in the sights around her . |
she loved the old world feel of the city with all its history and charm . |
pesh offered her his arm , and then they walked inside . |
the restaurant 's popularity was evident in how crowded it was even at four in the afternoon . |
they were ushered to a quiet , candlelit table . |
`` wine ? '' |
pesh asked . |
`` yes please . '' |
`` white okay ? '' |
`` sure . '' |
after the waiter left with their drink order , megan surveyed the menu and sighed . |
`` everything looks so good . '' |
glancing over his menu at her , pesh said , `` with the cuisine being southern , i imagined you would like it . '' |
`` i love all types of food . |
trust me , as hungry as i am now , i would have eaten anywhere . '' |
the waiter returned with their wine , and megan knew she needed to make a decision . |
`` i 'll have the shrimp and grits , please . '' |
`` very good , ma'am , '' the waiter replied . |
`` i 'll have the same , '' pesh said , handing the waiter his menu . |
when megan grinned at him , his brows rose . |
`` what ? '' |
`` i 'm just surprised to hear you eating something so southern as shrimp and grits . '' |
he tsked at her . |
`` when will you learn that you can never pigeonhole me as one thing or the other ? '' |
she laughed . |
`` actually , i like that you 're proving me wrong and being unexpected . '' |
`` really ? '' |
she nodded . |
`` sometimes i feel like people try to do the same thing to me . |
people have their own assumptions about girls or women who get knocked up . |
i hope i constantly prove them wrong . '' |
`` i 'm sure you do . '' |
after taking a sip of his wine , he cocked his head at her . |
`` prove me wrong on this one . |
does a southern girl like you eat indian food ? '' |
`` oh yes , i love it . '' |
his dark eyes lit up . |
`` what 's your favorite dish ? '' |
`` hmm , i love butter chicken , but i 'm also a fan of pav bahaji . '' |
`` i 'm impressed . |
emma had never eaten any indian food , and i do n't think i made a good impression on her . '' |
pesh 's chuckle died out , and he immediately grimaced at the mention of emma 's name . |
