Aiden let go of Flack. She looked into his blue eyes. Tears were brimming around them. She felt tears coming to her own eyes. She used the back of her hand to wipe them away. She forced herself to look at Flack. They were at the airport. She was about to leave for her plane to Florida. Danny was standing beside them, looking down at the floor. Aiden felt even sadder. This time, tears came rolling down her cheeks. Flack seemed to notice this and wiped away her tears with his thumb.
"Aw," he said. "Don't cry, Aiden. Please don't cry." Aiden was now crying into his shirt and Flack wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm gonna miss you so much, Flack," she sobbed. She looked up to him. Her eyes and nose were red. "I'm gonna miss you and Danny."
Danny looked up and smiled sadly at her. She released Flack and hugged Danny. "I'm gonna miss you too, Aid. So, so much."
Tears rolled down Aiden's cheeks again. She stepped back and folded her arms.
"You already told Mac and Stella that you're going?" asked Danny.
"Yes. In fact, Mac was the one who helped me with getting a job in Florida."
Aiden knew that Flack and Danny were going to ask her what's she gonna work as. "I'll be working with Horatio Caine and his CSI team in Miami."
"Oh," said Flack, not sure of what to say. "At least you're still a CSI."
"Yeah."
"Yeah."
Neither one said anything to each other again. Suddenly there was an announcement saying that the plane for Miami is already boarding. Aiden sighed and picked up her luggage bag. All her stuff was already moved to Miami in her new apartment.
"Well," she said. "I guess this is it. Bye."
It broke Aiden's heart to see both their expressions, especially Flack's. She could see his heart crumbling to pieces inside of him. She began walking to the gate with the plane boarding to Miami. She turned back to look at Flack and Danny. Her lips trembled. She dropped her bags and ran towards them to hug them one last time. She hugged Danny first.
"Thank you, Danny," she said. "Thank you for all the times we shared together back at the lab. Thank you for helping me with everything."
She turned her gaze towards Flack. She hugged him tightly and buried her face in his chest. She inhaled his smell, knowing that she may never smell this smell anymore. She looked up at him. Both of them were crying.
"Goodbye, Flack," she said. "I'll always love you. Remember that. I may not be here anymore but always remember me in your heart."
With that, she kissed him, gave them one last look, picked up her bags and walked towards the gate. She showed her ticket to the guard and proceeded through the gate and boarded the plane. She put her hand luggage in one of the compartments and took her seat. She gazed outside the window. The plane started moving and she buckled her seat belt on.
This is it, she thought. This is it.
She left her family. She left her friends. She left her home. She left her city. But most of all, she left Flack.
