The other room is a bedroom. A very plush, luxurious bedroom, with a queen-size bed covered in a dark-red comforter.

I glance through the door that leads into the bathroom and my eyebrows hit my hairline.

“Holy... this is huge.”

Ari peers around, her brow furrowed. “It’s not that big.”

I press my lips together to hold back the laughter. “Most planes have bathrooms barely large enough to sit in.”

“Hmm.” She remains unconvinced. Wait till she has to fly coach.

It’s almost as big as our master bath at home. There’s a full-size shower and tub, all sparkling clean and gleaming white.

“Don’t touch anything.” I frown at the countertop. Is that marble?

“Momma, I have to touch things to go potty and wash my hands.”

“Just be careful. I’ll be right outside the door.”

She takes her sweet time. The hum of the engine drowns most of the conversation happening in the other room. Only the tones are audible: Jake’s baritone, Piper’s higher pitch, and Oliver’s occasional bark.

By the time we join the others, everyone has settled in their seats. We prepared Ari for what to expect with takeoff and whatnot, and she sits on the couch between Jake and me, her eyes wide as the plane lifts into the sky.

Oliver sits at one of the window seats across the plane from us, clicking away on a laptop.

Piper occupies the chair across from the couch. She points over to the front of the plane. “We have drinks and snacks in the fridge up there. If you want anything, please help yourself. There are also some premade sandwiches, apple slices, all kinds of stuff.”

Jake gets up and grabs a few waters, along with animal crackers and apples for Ari.

We make small talk with Piper, and after a few minutes, Ari gets bored and takes her snacks over to a window seat behind Oliver to gaze out at the world below.

Jake nudges me with his shoulder, nodding toward Ari. “I’m surprised she hasn’t wanted a nap.”

“Does she normally nap?” Piper asks.

“Not usually, but she was up late because she was too excited to sleep.”

Jake nods. “And then we had to wake up her early today to get to the airport.”

Our gazes connect, and one corner of his mouth ticks up. Warmth spreads through my belly.

I snap my attention back to Piper.

Her eyes flick between the two of us.

Is it that obvious I want to bone her brother?

I clear my throat. “She’s really excited the camp is named after her. We explained it was named for your sister, and she knows she was named after the same person, so we let her believe it.”

Piper laughs. “I mean, she’s not wrong.”

Ari moves from her chair over to the one next to Oliver.

He scowls at her.

I wince. “I hope she isn’t bothering him.”

Piper twists around to check them out, and when she turns back, she’s smiling. “He loves kids and for some reason, even though he can be a little prickly, they love him too.”
