turn around

She whirled around, her suitcase of clothing trailing behind her, to see the tall blonde giving her a wide smile. She gasped and ran at him. They met with a tight, heartfelt hug that lasted a long time.

"I missed you so much!" She whispered as they embraced.

"I missed you too, Juni Moony," Chris chuckled. "How was space?"

"Space was good," she sighed. "I miss it already."

"Well, you can always go back. I'm sure NASA would be glad to have you."

"I think I need to reacquaint myself with gravity before I head back up there," she smiled, backing out of the hug to study him. "You grew your beard back."

"You cut your hair," he retorted. 

"Long hair is a nuisance in space. Antigravity didn't do me any favours," she chuckled as she combed her fingers through her hair, which had been cropped just below her ears.

"It suits you," he complimented. "I'd hate to cut this short, because you know how much I love spending time with you, but there's somebody who's pretty eager to meet you."

"What do you mean?" Juni asked softly, gentle creases forming as she frowned. Chris simply pointed at something over her shoulder and she turned to follow his gesture.

She came face-to-face with the man she had formed a blind friendship with while she was in space.
