Pay back time. Our flight has been called so I shall email him from the plane. It willbe safer. I almost hug myself with mischievous glee.There is so much room in first class. Champagne cocktail in hand, I settle myself into thesumptuous leather window seat as the cabin slowly fills. I call Ray to tell him where I am– a mercifully brief call, as it’s so late for him.“Love you, Dad,” I murmur.“You too, Annie. Say hi to your mom. Goodnight.”“Goodnight.” I hang up.Ray is in good form.

He cares about you and wants you to travel in
