Zoe didn't know what to think as she and Dan kissed. Her heart and mind began to fight over what she should do, but she wanted her heart to win and she let it. She moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her back. Their kiss deepened, but panic began to set in Zoe's head and she pulled away.

"What? Is something wrong?" Dan asked, his breathing heavy.

"I'm not sure I can do this. I have so many mixed emotions right now."

Dan sat on the couch, where the separation between them was once barely centimeters where now it was two feet, with disappointment on his face. There was an awkward silence between them before Dan stood up and stared down at her.

"I'd better go then," he said, "I'll try to make it to the airport tomorrow though."

"I'm sorry." Zoe said, feeling ashamed as she watched Dan leave the house.


Despite what happened the night before, Dan still decided to see Zoe off. For some reason, something inside of him was telling him to tell her how he felt. He felt the need to proclaim his love for her. Even though Zoe had said that she had mixed emotions, he wanted to tell her before she went of and possibly met someone. It was probably unlikely that she'd met someone and become serious with them, but there was always that possibility.

Dan arrived at the airport a couple of hours before her flight was to take off. He knew how airports were and he couldn't risk missing her. He hadn't been in an airport in a long time though and was unaware of how tight security had gotten. He hadn't realized that in order to get to the terminal he needed a plane ticket; it left him at a dead end.

TBC, sorry it's so short, I needed to end it at a climax.
