As she checked the message, a smile formed on her face. Finally, she accepted and climbed into the car.
Marco couldn't hold back his smile as Loraine got in the car. He was curious about what message she had gotten.
The driver turned to face them and asked, “Where are we headed to?”
“To the airport, please.” Loraine responded.
Marco nodded to the driver without questioning why she was heading there.
The driver nodded back and started the car, but right as the car moved, a child ran off the sidewalk, straight into
their path.

The driver slammed on the brakes and Loraine fell into Marco’s arms.
Marco quickly reached out to hold her firmly in his arms.
The mother of the child hurried over to the front of the car and grabbed the frightened child out of the road. She
apologized, “I'm sorry!”
Loraine snapped out of her shock and found herself huddled in Marco's arms, her cheek pressed against his lips.
She turned bright red and shoved Marco away from her, hurriedly straightening her clothes.

Loraine coughed awkwardly. “Thank you.”
Marco's voice was hoarse as he said to the driver, “Drive slowly and carefully this time.”
As he said so, he wished that twould pass even slower. The Longer it took, the better it was for him.
Sadly, despite how slow the ride was, it still ended up at its destination at Last.
Loraine got out of the car immediately they arrived at the airport.
She stretched her neck and peered around, searching the crowd. It didn’t take long before she caught sight of
Cayson. He was dressed in a white suit, tall and lean, looking down at his cell phone.

Loraine’s phone vibrated.
“Where are you, Lorrie? I've gotten off the plane.”
She tiptoed over until she was behind the tall man and said excitedly,
“Here!”
Cayson turned to her with a soft, affectionate smile.
“Lorrie.”
