I leaned against the window, straining to hear any sounds from outside. My eyes grew
teary, and I cursed
myself for this display of emotion. Wasn’t it better for us to stay in our own worlds?

“Since they’ll arrive on Sunday, make sure they’re well–rested!” I commanded him.
“That’s all.”
I was worried Ryan would procrastinate, so I immediately called Carol to book the tickets

planned.
