Chapter 4

“I’ve never been out of Hawaii. Well, that I remember. I was just a kid when we moved there.”

Remembering he was only twenty-five, I said, “And you’re still a kid. Now let’s find the carousel our bags will be coming in on.”

We stepped off the escalator and turned right towards the baggage claim area.

“Is your sister picking us up?” he asked, now following closely on my heels.

“I think so. Someone is anyway.”

I noted which carousel would be ours and Connor and I went to stand by it as we waited for the contraption to start shooting out suitcases.

“Mackenzie!” spoke a deep voice behind me.

I turned and blinked at the sight of Karl Gregory coming toward us. For Christ’s sake. Was Suzy kidding me? But then Suzy didn’t know about my three day fling with Karl. He certainly did, though. While I knew I’d probably have to deal with the awkwardness eventually, I hadn’t really been prepared to do so at the airport.
