“So? How does it feel, hotshot?” “Um…” I bit my lip and tried to find the right word. “Surreal. Good, but surreal.” “It should. You were unbelievable up there. Almost lost sight of Heinz twice because I was too busy watching you.” Heat crept up my neck and I looked down at the helmet in my hand. “Thanks.” “Uh ah. Look at me.” When I lifted my head, Solo smiled. “That’s better. You hold your head fuckin’ high, you hear me? Be proud of what you just did.” “Yes, sir,” I said.
