Chapter 52

But even so, Rusty had barely made it in time. Better that they’d had more time for their goodbyes in private than at the airport.

Sure, Nate, keep telling yourself that.

But now he was determined to see Rusty one more time, not just watch his flight take off.

“Made it!” Nate muttered as he ran into the terminal. He took a few seconds to catch his breath, then sprinted up the stairs to the departure gates.

The queue of passengers going through security into the departure lounge was down to the last few. Had he missed Rusty already?

As Nate approached, he saw Rusty wave. “Nate! Over here.”

“I thought I’d missed you.”

“You almost did.” Rusty smiled—Nate would miss that smile. He loved the way Rusty’s mouth turned up more on one side. “I’m glad you didn’t. I wanted to be able to say goodbye properly.”
