How it begins

The zeppelin lurches suddenly and I tumble forward, spilling my books on the deck. Peyton laughs sympathetically and holds out his hand.

"I know you’re out of your element, Nicky," he says, as he helps me to my feet, "but try to go five minutes without falling over."

I feel myself blushing as I release his fingers. "I'm not used to air travel. I'll be better on the... ground."

His sensual lips broaden into a smile. "Not ground, perhaps, but sturdier purchase for sure."

I can see it ahead. Rising from the ocean. Just like Peyton, it's striking and tall and impossible.
