A roar sounded outside the garage, and Jess turned in excitement, and then manfully tried to hide that excitement. It wouldn’t do to be giggling like a schoolgirl when the motorbike reached her. Really, it was a just a coincidence that she was walking to the doors from her Mini just as the new Captain was driving up. There was nothing like a plan involved. That would be just ridiculous and probably more than a little creepy.
Wincing at the direction of her thoughts and the niggling little voice in her head that reminded her there had absolutely been a plan involved, Jess turned and scurried as fast as her heels would allow toward the door. Suddenly, it seemed like a better idea to just go on inside and pretend this little lapse in judgment had never happened.
It was a little too late though – the bike was past the security check point and came through the garage and to a stop in one of the smaller reserved spots just down from the door. One of the spots directly in front of Jess, as it happened.
The rider killed the motor and slid off gracefully, tugging off the helmet to reveal long red hair and a tired smile.
“’Morning, Jess,” Fee said, and then stepped ahead of her to the door and pulled it open. “You coming?” she asked, still holding the door and clearly waiting for the younger woman.
“Oh! Yes, I am. Right, thank you,” Jess babbled helplessly, hurrying over and nearly tripping over her feet in the process. Fee smiled again and steadied her, then followed her through the door. The Captain went off down the hall toward the armoury with another small smile and a wave, leaving Jess alone in the hall.
Oh well that went just swimmingly, she thought with a wince.
