"you can't jinx the inevitable." he smiled. "call me-"
"when i land, i know." she combed his curls away from his face so she could see into his eyes.
"i love you." he blurted out.
"i love you." she stood up on her toes and kissed him. "i should go."
ben frowned and pulled her into his chest, resting his chin on top of her head.
"ben, i'm gonna miss my flight." she mumbled into his chest. he scrunched his nose up and reluctantly let her go. "i already miss you."

"sad?" he raised an eyebrow.
"i won't see ben until, like, august, so..."
"oh, i'm sorry, el." he frowned, then grinned. "but...more time for gymnastics!" "alright, let's get to it." she laughed, and headed to the locker room.
