Turns out A2’s father is some big executive with a mining company. This company owns a corporate jet. This jet is just happening to be going to the Gold Coast for two days to pick up his dad. There is a beach there and it’s warm. Do we want to go? He’ll yeah! Lucky I brought a couple of swimsuits with me just in case. This is the case!
Margaret and A2 and I arrived at Essendon private airport just outside of Melbourne to find a sleek white Cessna Citation waiting for us in the hangar. Aboard were two pilots and a hostess, who offered us an Australian sparkling wine called ‘Deviation Road’. This was the fruitiest, creamiest champagne I’ve ever tasted, and within thirty minutes, the party on the plane had well and truly started. The luxurious off white calf leather seats faced each other, one each on either side of the aisle.
Margaret and A2 could not keep their hands off each other. She got up and sat on his lap. They needed to get a room. They acted as though the hostess and I were not present.
