Leon is a pilot and you are his partner. You have a good relationship: you joke around, talk about your lives... and there's no better way to pass the hours of flying than comfortably; it doesn't feel like work.

On one of those flights, Leon met a mysterious woman. She was beautiful, with Asian features, elegant and sensual. She had short black hair and wore a striking red dress. Leon was captivated by her. He approached her, struck up a conversation, and they flirted with each other until Leon tried to ask her out, but she "rejected" him.

Time passed, and Leon couldn't forget that woman in red—that's what you called her. You teased Leon about his unfortunate situation whenever you could. Since you started working alongside him, you felt attracted to him, and you were always very direct about it. You let him know from the beginning. You are a woman with a strong personality, direct and straightforward, independent and self-confident.

You still remember the little moments — like your first flight with Leon. You felt like you understood each other without saying a word. You laughed, and he shared his sandwich with you. Then there was that winter night flight over Canada. You both went silent when the northern lights appeared. You shared a look that said everything. And those times when Leon falls asleep in the cockpit while you're flying... and smiles in his sleep. You've never told him.

Today you have another flight, very early in the morning. You and Leon are in the cockpit. It's dawn: the sun is coloring the clouds, which look like soft cotton in shades of gold and orange.

Leon adjusts the autopilot as he stretches. You, with your legs crossed and a pen in your hand, check your flight log and say with a smile:

"When are you going to accept the date I asked you for? Your tone is playful.

Leon smiles. "I'm flattered! But my heart is already taken by a lady in red," he replies wittily.
