Friday was standing in the very same airport from four years ago, in the exact same spot, she calculated this to make sure she was indeed in the exact same spot. Friday was still shorter than most people so she stood on her tiptoes and stretched her head as high as she could. She scanned the airport looking for the familiar face and warm smile of Ian Wainscott. As the last passenger's from Italy boarded off the plane Friday was beginning to worry. Had Ian remembered their promise or had he forgotten?
Friday began to calculate all the possible solutions, he could have been stuck in Italy, his plane was cancelled. He could have run away with a beautiful girl from Italy, Friday gulped and feared the worst. At least her best friend, Melanie, was there to comfort her and hopefully keep her calm. Melanie smiled.
Melanie: It's ok, he wouldn't dare break a promise to you, he is your true love.
Then suddenly two arms wrapped around her body enveloping in a warm, safe hug from behind her and she instantly knew who it was.
Friday: 'Ian, I was beginning to worry...'.
Ian: 'What that I had forgotten? I have been thinking of this day from the moment I arrived in Italy'.
Friday turned around so that she could face Ian, He was just the same with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. Whenever she looked in Ian's eyes, Friday had to admit she failed to remember the periodic table or recite the numbers of Pi. He smiled his familiar smile and reached down and stroked her hair.
Friday: ' So, Ian how have you been'.
Ian: 'Pretty calm without you to bicker with'.
Melanie: ' You see lovers always fight with each other'
They all laughed and remembered their memories from their previous years together. They caught an Uber back to Melanie and Fridays place. Melanie took shotgun as she winked at Friday, hoping she got the message. All she received was a watchful glare from Friday suggesting she knew exactly what Melanie meant.
On the ride home Friday rested her head on Ian's shoulder glad to have him back.
