The return flight

They had chosen seats as they had on the way there. Maya wanted to be next to Andy in case she needed a shoulder to cry on.

Carina was back with her letters. And the couple was watching a movie together.
This time they had two stopovers. They flew from Catania to Munich at 2:10 a.m. with a two-hour stopover, then from Munich to Vancouver at 10:10 a.m. with a stopover of almost 2:30 a.m., and finally from Vancouver to Seattle for just one hour.
They had left on Monday at 5:00 pm from Catania and would arrive on Tuesday morning at 2:00 am local time from Seattle.

In the first plane the seats were by 3.

Carina had started a letter and Maya had started a movie, Pitch Perfect.

Letter n° 438

Two years since your last letter. I still read them. Do you read mine? Do you still watch those videos of me? I would give anything to read something new from you...
There is a song by a French singer that always makes me think of you and I sometimes listen to it in these moments of loneliness 'toujours envie de te revoir' by Gilbert Montagné:

When it rains too hard
On our northern Italy
When it's November in this room
When it was July
When we loved each other so much
Behind the closed shutters
They knew outside
That we loved each other
But why do I still think about it

It's true that I always want to see you again
It's true that my whole life stops with our story
In my loneliness, I've lost the habit of loving
Oh it's true that my songs are always about you
It's true that the emptiness around me is deep
In my solitude, I've lost the habit of loving'.

This is so true...

Letter n°445

Happy birthday my love, 22 years. How I would like to spend the day with you. I miss you so much. What I wouldn't give to hear you call me 'bambina'. Today is Saturday and my agenda is to watch our videos from before, before I screwed up. You were so beautiful, so perfect, I don't doubt that you still are, but it's been a while since I've seen you in a picture... Well, at Andrea's wedding, with her

- "oh I love this part, give me a headset"

- "Are you going to give me your best concert yet?"

- "no but 'since you've been gone' this interpretation is excellent!"

- "should I take the words at face value?"

- "oh no it was just the opposite!"

- "excuse it sucked"

- "you've made up for it now,...my fiancée"

Letter n°451

Amore-mio,

Three years today I left you on that airfield tarmac. The biggest mistake of my life. If I had known that a few months later I would make the second biggest mistake of my life, I would never have gotten on that plane. If I had been in your arms when I received this terrible news everything would have been different. I could have cried in your arms instead of becoming this cold being.
Cold in appearance, because my heart is warm and beats only for you. But it is surrounded by a pocket of ice.

Letter n°356

I don't know why I'm thinking today of that boyz 2 men song 'end of the road' that you once sent me...

Girl you know we belong together
I don't have no time for you to be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby
You just wait
We belong together
And you know that I am right
Why do you play with my heart?
Why do you play with my mind?
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me and never
Say goodbye?
