Three is NOT a Party (Jamie, Julia, & Kurt)
Once again, it seemed as if fate was conspiring against Jamie and forcing her to interact with others. She just wanted to ride the hot air balloon alone and gaze out over the vastness of the land that she had come to know. Kurt was one of the few people she knew that she took no issue with. He did his job and did not socialize; just perfect for Jamie. Of course, with how things have been with she and Gwen, Jamie was not so sure she felt comfortable going hundreds of feet in the air with someone who was fictive kin.
As for the other passenger-- a blonde woman wearing daisy-dukes and tall white boots. She did not know the woman, which was comforting. She could choose to avoid talking with her. She stood silently and placed a hand on her hat as the wind blew. It was sure to get stronger as they increased their altitude.
