Separated Again

Jackson and Halia stood in the departure hall and looked up at the timetable. They were catching separate planes home: one was headed for Beijing, while the other was headed for Hong Kong.

Halia didn't want to be separated again. The last time they were separated, Jackson returned to France for a month and it felt like forever. How long would they be separated this time?

"Don't worry. As soon as I hand in my resignation and hand over everything, I will fly straight over to Beijing to join you. After that, we won't be separated again. I promise," Jackson comforted as he patted Halia on the head.

Halia frowned, "Don't take too long."

"I won't," Jackson replied as he arrived at his gate.

Jackson's flight was leaving two hours before Halia's, so the couple had no choice but to say goodbye in Munich.
