At this moment, the silhouette of Eldorria City Airport loomed in the distance through the airplane’s window–a stark reminder that Jeffrey’s time was running out.
He knew that if he let Karen leave without snagging her contact information, it would be game over. Whether they’d cross paths. again was a matter left to fate. Hoping for a lead from Everett was a fool’s errand. That guy was all about his girl, Dorothy, playing the lovesick puppy in front of her. Even with his big–shot role as CEO of the Lopez Corporation, he constantly worried about tripping Dorothy’s temper. And reaching out to Dorothy herself? Fat chance! She’d already made her stance clear; she wasn’t on board.
“You don’t have to head back with me right off the bat. What do you say we grab a bite after we land? I rushed to the airport to catch you and haven’t eaten a thing. I’m starving.”
Jeffrey reached out, but Karen deftly sidestepped him.
“Can’t do. Someone’s picking me up.”
“Who? A guy or a girl?” Jeffrey’s alertness spiked instantly.
Karen frowned, finding him to be a real piece of work. “What’s it to you?”

A guy? Some dude was picking her up!
“And who might this guy be to you?” He couldn’t hide the sourness in his voice.
Karen paused, gesturing to the flight attendant who looked rather uncomfortable, “Mr. Turner, we’re about to land. Can you please. take your seat?”
“Sir, please return to your seat,” the flight attendant added, urging him along.
With the presence of an audience, Jeffrey had no choice but to go back and sit down obediently.
Karen had just stowed her eye mask and travel pillow back into her carry–on when the plane touched down smoothly.
She had managed to get a decent amount of sleep during the ten–hour flight and felt refreshed. Her mind was already wandering to the sumptuous meal she’d enjoy with Kenneth and the two munchkins. She had to make sure Kenneth got the bill good and
proper.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying with us. We have now landed at Eldorria City Airport…”
The announcement began to play overhead.
Karen switched into her walking shoes, slung her bag over her shoulder, and made a beeline for the exit, paying Jeffrey no mind the entire time.
This left Jeffrey grinding his teeth in frustration, but he couldn’t make a scene with the other passengers all getting ready to disembark.
As soon as Karen stepped off the plane, her phone rang–it was Kenneth.

Hearing Kenneth’s ringtone filled her with warmth. “Yeah! Just landed! Are you here now? And you got me a present… Oh, you’re the best!”
Karen wasn’t big on farewells but loved being picked up. It felt like there was something to look forward to.
“No lies, I really love you! And of course, I’m crashing at your place tonight. Where else would I go?”
On the other end, Kenneth couldn’t help but chuckle. “I figured your folks would be eager to see you. I can drive you to them first”
“No way! Flying’s too exhausting. Let’s head to my parents‘ tomorrow.”
“Sure, it’s all up to you.”
