Ch 29

10 days later Kerrie parked in front of the airport her hands on the wheel not knowing what to say. Those 10 days had been perfect, they had gone snow tubing, to the movies, and spent every night together in bed.

'Come to Toronto with me.' Mike said suddenly. Kerrie let out a sigh.

'As much as I want to I need to finish my last two classes, if there was a way to take them online I would.' Kerrie said softly biting her lip as she looked down.

'Don't you dare cry. We'll be together soon.' Mike said pulling her into a hug. Kerrie and Mike got out of the car to say good-bye. It was late and the airport was fairly quiet. Mike handed Kerrie an envelop. 'Open it after I leave.' He said giving her a kiss.

'Have a good flight.' Kerrie said softly.

'I'll call you tomorrow, drive safe.' Mike said picking up his bag and glancing at the sky that looked like it would open up and pour any moment. Kerrie watched as Mike disappeared into the airport and she slowly got into her car as tears streamed down her cheeks. She started up her car and pulled away as she started to sob. The crying became so bad she pulled over at a gas station and opened the envelop. A grin crossed her face as she saw a ticket to Toronto for 2 days before Valentines Day.

When Kerrie got home she picked up her phone and called Corrine. After chatting for an hour Kerrie hung up and climbed into bed falling asleep right away. A little over a month later Kerrie smiled to herself as she finished packing her things.

'He's a good guy, I'm happy for you too.' Danny said playing with his car keys as Kasey laid her head on his lap.

'I wish you could have gotten some time off.'

'No way, I'd be the third wheel.'

'I told yea, there's someone I want you to meet.' Danny scoffed as Kerrie slipped on her coat. 'You look different.' Danny said as the pair walked to his car.

'I don't feel-' Kerrie stopped. 'Maybe I do feel different, happy.' She said with a grin.

'I can't say I miss the solemn Kerrie, it's a good change.' When they pulled up at the airport Kerrie gave her friend a hug and walked towards her airline unaware that someone was watching her.
