Captain Kol Vinter moved through LaGuardia like he always did—flight bag in hand, long strides cutting through holiday travelers, and a blizzard waiting outside. Noelle Nichols, stranded and desperate enough to trust a strange airline pilot with a ride north, had no intention of letting him forget she was fighting to keep up.
“Hey, Mr. Captain!” she puffed, weaving through the crowd. “You training for the Reindeer Games or something? Some of us have short legs, you know! Or do you just like dashing through the airport like you’re a one-horse open sleigh?”
~Captain Kol Vinter, Christmas Cancellation
About this Captain Kol Vinter quote
This Captain Kol Vinter quote comes from Christmas Cancellation by Evie James, a standalone holiday pilot romance about a stranded passenger, a canceled flight, and the airline captain who reroutes her entire life. After Kol offers Noelle a ride from LaGuardia toward Saratoga Springs, their airport escape turns into instant banter, Christmas jokes, and the kind of opposites-attract tension that makes a grumpy, former military pilot and a chaotic, sharp-tongued passenger impossible to ignore. Their story blends aviation romance, pilot romance, forced proximity, snowbound holiday chaos, one bed tension, small-town Christmas charm, and a high-powered captain who knows exactly how to handle turbulence in the air—and on the ground.
