        Making her way to the airport, Jennifer kept looking at her phone at the time and was anxious to be gone. With her fingers dancing on the screen, she decided to call Sebastian and end it once and for all.

        "Hello?" A tired voice at the other end of the answered.

        "We're over. You have hurt me for the last time...having your floozies call the house...it's just low. I want you gone by the time I'm home..."

        "Babe....what are you talking about?"

        "Becky..."

        The line went silent.

        "She was supposed to call me...Listen, it was supposed to be a surprise...I have a designer making you something but she couldn't get a hold of me and needed an answer...I'm sorry..."

        Feeling embarrassed but not relieved, she apologized for her assumptions.

        "It's okay. Listen babes, I have a meeting in a bit. Have a safe flight. Bye."

        Before she could say bye, the phone line went dead and she was stuck with the phone up against her ear. Placing it beside her in the cab, she looked out the window and saw the beautiful airport ahead. Unsure why, she felt a sense of freedom in her midst. It may have just been change in scenery, but she was anxious nonetheless.

        Making her way to the desk, she received her ticket and went to the bar to await her flight.

        "Just some crackers." She ordered from the bar as a familiar voice began talking behind her. She turned to find it to be Colin. He stood as handsome as ever, messy hair, mid-September shadow, and lazy-day clothes including a simple white shirt that accented his physique as well as his figure.

        "and one shot of vodka." she said as he walked toward her.

        "Are you a nervous flyer?"

        "Not particularly."

        "Is everything alright? You seem distracted...or maybe sad even..."

        "I'm just tired...didn't get much sleep..." She said blushing as she remembered the dream she had the night before.

        "Here..." He said placing his hand on hers. "I want you to know you can talk to me. I want us to be friends since we will be working together a lot, and probably doing many tours and publicity stunts together..."

        Unable to hide her smile, she hid her face from him a moment as the bartender brought her the vodka.

        "I changed my mind...I'll be fine without it...but thank you..."

        "Flight 269 now departing."

        "That's us..." Colin said as he made his way toward the plane. He turned back toward Jennifer to find she had not moved. "Are you ready?" He said, extending his hand.

        "As I'll ever be..." She said with a smile, following him to the plane.
