No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

The time difference meant Bena’s message to Freya would take hours in get a response. She tried to convince Jasper to go home in the meantime, promising to call the second she heard back, but he refused to budge.

He crashed on her couch, jerking awake at every notification sound, hoping it was news from Freya,

Those five words sent Jasper’s pulse racing. Freya was willing to meet him! There was still a chance!

Practically vibrating with anticipation, he immediately pulled up flight options on his phone.
