spin spin sugar

Dylan eased the craft onto the tarmac.
smooth as silk.
checked the levels.
camber, hydraulics, thrusters.
and juice.
he eased it forward.
speed steadily rising.
Daphne giggled with glee as she watched his hands move over the controls.

"you ready?"
"already!"

the leap forward was unbelievable.
nanotech at its best.
he knew what he was doing.
excellent timing.
deceleration, curves, hairpins.
at the last turn, sideways as he braked.
gentle halt.
panting.
rapid heartbeats in spite of the safe surroundings of the interior.

"another spin?"
"do you?"

meaning "you bet!"
Dylan smiled. that's my Daphne.
