After summer with months worrying about the woman, my aunt was free to come visit me. She did in fact, due to an unforeseen dust storm, get lost and communication was cut with her. Thankfully she wasn’t alone with what must’ve been four other people including her lover.

I had to literally threaten corporate into giving me that little bit of information. And when they found her and put her in the hospital I was finally able to talk to her. It took a few weeks for them to discharge her due to a broken arm and extra tests for any internal damages. It sure felt like they took their time too.

I jumped out of my seat seeing her exit the gate and waited a little more so we wouldn’t be in the way before I rushed over behind her and pulled her into a hug. I made sure to be careful with the present casted arm I first saw and I could feel how tense she was before I spoke, “I missed you so so much.”

I was a bit too quick with my actions and granted I did sort of sneak up on her which I will never admit to doing. When she turned to meet me her shock subsided and she dropped her luggage to pull me into another long awaited hug.216Please respect copyright.PENANAIoaW2IG9CQ

“Ew no ok let's get out of here,” I grabbed her luggage and the usable hand and started on our way out. Soon we were in the parking lot searching for my car. I was repeatedly tapping the button to try and locate the thing and was starting to get frustrated until I saw a light go off in the far distance.216Please respect copyright.PENANAtABTBRDGRX

“Nope, I have my own car now. Courtesy of the saved cash and the need to stop asking people for rides. I made a good down payment so luckily I'm not paying all that much to be honest. Gosh I am just over the moon happy that your here. And while I truly am, let's get on the road before rush hour hits the roads.”

I sighed, having waited all of five hours for her to call me back. It was already dark now and I had a feeling I wouldn't be happy with the call, “Hey, I'm sorry but I think I'm gonna stay here overnight.”216Please respect copyright.PENANAf7VANoYHPn

“Yes, I was just thinking of grabbing something to eat before I start looking at resumes again. They even have me looking at budgets even though I won't be the person actually running this place.

“I already have and love you too,” I really wanted to sulk in a corner but seeing as i took the call right in front of my aunt and the fact that it's hard to lie to her i put on a smile albeit a sad one and kept it together.
