"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered." –Nelson Mandela

It was an 17h 15 minute flight from Wake Forest to Dallas the very next day. We would have waited till August to meet up with the entire Brooks Family but it was easier for Levi and I to just come when we could.

I wouldn't survive the wait till August.

Levi and I walked side by side out of the airport gate. It was a very quiet flight for the both of us.

I was still very uncomfortable from the night before and I knew with Levi's side glances towards me the entire flight, he was eager to talk about it.

I wasn't.

I didn't know what to tell him.

He probably thought it was another game of mine. You know the ultimate tease.

"Thanks for coming," I smiled at him, holding onto the strap of my bag tightly.

It meant a lot that he was here.

He was here to support me and I was excited to show him where I came from.

I didn't have many memories of living in Dallas since I left when I was young but I know the Maisie back then was someone Levi would have liked to meet.

Prior to:

Sterling

Mr. Pratt.

Travis.

I was a less complicated person back then.

"I'm lucky that Chief let me use my vacation days so abruptly."

"---Yea, sorry about that. I like that it will just be a small family reunion, you know?" We're going at a time when the entire Brooks family wouldn't be there so I'll feel a lot more comfortable.

I'm not ready for a huge reunion.

I'm already worried enough about what Daxton's sister, Carmen, will say to me.

His expression was suddenly serious "I was hoping we'd be able to talk on the plane ride about what happened back home."

"What happened?" I asked. I knew what happened but I was going to play dumb anyway. I don't know how to explain to him why I suddenly chickened out. It wasn't like me to tease and not follow through.
