elements of the trip. The more she thought about
this crazy scheme, the less it made sense.
    He mentioned a few more of his plans,
day-trips he intended to take into Vermont and the western edge of Maine,
trails he had heard of in the White Mountains, places he wanted to see. Makenna
made mental notes of the locations that would be of interest to her project,
wondering if Kenzie had made an itinerary of her own. Knowing her impulsive
friend, she suspected she already knew the answer.
    As the plane banked and headed north,
Makenna felt a burden lift from her shoulders. The journey had begun, and so
far, no one even suspected she wasn’t who she claimed to be. Maybe this crazy
scheme was going to work, after all.
     
     
     
    “Please secure your personal belongings
as we prepare for descent into Manchester.”
    The three-hour flight had literally
flown by. Makenna and the handsome blue eyed man spent the entire time chatting
about everything from current movies and magazines - particularly Now -
to tastes in music, from their home state of Texas to the undeniable lure of
New England. Makenna’s worries melted away as she laughed with her charming
companion. He was witty and sharp, and offered the perfect distraction from her
guilt-plagued conscious. By the time the flight attendant announced the current
time and temperature in New Hampshire, Makenna was feeling much more optimistic
about the upcoming week.
    “Let’s exchange phone numbers,” her
companion suggested as they touched down and were allowed to turn their cells
back on. “Maybe we can touch base during the week, have lunch or something.”
    “Sounds like a plan.” Makenna fiddled
with her phone, finding the right screen. “By the way, what’s your name?”
    “Hardin. But here, let me. It’s easier
this way.” He went to the corresponding screen on his phone and traded devices,
so they could each enter their own information. As he keyed in his number, he
glanced up at her. “So what’s your name?”
    She almost goofed. She was busy putting
her friend’s name alongside her own phone number, which took a fair amount of
concentration. She started to answer automatically, “Ma - .” She quickly caught
herself. “McKenzie, but look under the ‘K’s. Everyone calls me Kenzie.”
    “All right, Kenzie with a K.” He
returned her phone with a charismatic smile. “All done. Be expecting a call.”
    “I will.” She gave him a cheeky little
grin before slipping her phone into her bag.
    They continued a casual conversation as
they made their way down the aisle, off the plane, and toward baggage claim.
When no one came rushing toward her, demanding an explanation for posing as her
friend, Makenna breathed easier.
    “Well, thanks for making the flight less
stressful,” she said, piling her bags together after retrieving them all from
the carousel. His still had not arrived. “It definitely kept my mind occupied.”
    “No problem. I’m glad I sat on your
row,” he grinned. “Oops. That’s mine.” He nodded at the black bag tumbling onto
the conveyor belt.
    “Well, have a great vacation.” She was
reluctant to part with the handsome man, but his luggage was moving
closer. 
    “Hey, I’ll call you,” he promised. He
was obviously torn between lingering beside her and retrieving his bag now,
without waiting for it to cycle again. He reached out to touch her hand, their
fingers trailing through the air as he stepped away.
    “You do that.” Makenna would have
offered her best smile, but he had already turned his back toward her. Puffing
a breath of air from her cheeks, Makenna made her way toward Ground
Transportation.
    Her adventure was now underway.

CHAPTER THREE
     
     
    Thirty minutes later, Makenna pulled out
of the rental car lot in a shiny red convertible. As predicted, Kenzie pre-paid
for the ultimate driving experience. The car had every gadget imaginable, most
of which Makenna had no clue on how to operate. But it had a full tank of
