Isarae hugged the walls of the spires, keeping the awnings and balconies over us as we soared between the spires. I marveled at how nimble the machine was as she dipped through hairpin turns and took needle-sharp passes that no Imperial vehicle could have managed.
“I always thought these were much faster,” I mumbled into Isarae’s hair as she leaned into a turn.

I nodded, and settled myself more comfortably against her. I would never admit it, but laying against her like this, with the jetbike humming gently beneath us and her soft hair against my face, was almost enough to make me forget where we were. I thought, for a moment, that I’d like it very much if we could be elsewhere one day… riding somewhere that wasn’t in the midst of a warzone.
