AS soon as Alex went inside the terminal, I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I didn’t let her see it since I didn’t want her to feel bad about leaving. She wasn’t telling me, but I know that she misses her fiancé a lot, and I don’t want to to delay their reunion if I can help it.
I walked the airport towards Gabriel's car. The driver opened the door for me and must have noticed my teary eyes.
Driver: “Miss are you okay?”
Vanessa: “Yes, I am. I’m just sad about my friend leaving.”
He smiled meekly. This is the first time we’ve talked and he must be feeling awkward about it. I don’t even know his name.
Driver: “Mister Gabriel wants you to call him, miss. He was trying to contact you earlier but he said you weren’t answering.”
Vanessa: “Okay, thank you--. I’m sorry, what’s your name?”
