In that moment: a 50-word short story

Here is one of my 50-word short stories for this week's #fiftywords challenge prompt, wing. I am writing two because I had already written this one and then came across an image... and... must... write... another. Does that every happen to you? Sometimes an image is all it takes to launch a new story idea.

In that moment

The propeller stopped. They were gliding, wings quietly slicing air currents.

“Is it safe?”

“Yes, babe. I do this all the time.”

On the descent, trees and barns came into focus. A bald eagle soared past. She inhaled deeply, exhilarated, happy, flying.

In that moment... “Babe? Will you marry me?”
