The kiss of the wind was empty--he couldn't kiss back. Once a god, he'd been cursed to roam the heavens alone. Until one day, humans joined him in the skies.
On the aircraft, she wore a uniform and jaunty little hat. She blushed when he smiled.
After several years, she disappeared. He searched for months before he found her again--without her uniform. "I was promoted. Ground supervisor."
He begged her to fly again. To be with him.
Crying, she said, "I'm sorry."
Once, he'd been a god.
Two hundred died in the crash.

How to Avoid Being a Pick-Me Girl: A Step-by-Step Guide
Being likable is not the same as being a pick-me. A pick-me girl is the woman who tells you she hates other women who wear makeup, who “just can’t deal with drama,” who claims she’s “one of the guys” and that she “doesn’t need validation from anyone.” She laughs at your love of rom-coms, your skincare routine, or your joy in wearing something pink. She wants approval from men by devaluing other women. This manual exists to prevent that. Follow carefully. Missteps have social consequences.
