75
The trip back to Vittore's building was quiet but peaceful. I guess we were both thinking about our last words to each other, what they really meant. The kiss we'd had was like a switch. It felt like a lot had changed when it really was nothing at all.
I was seeing that moment as a wall, holding back all our feeling, thoughts and worries. Once we'd faced it, it broke down like a stack fo cards and everything just came rushing out. The weird thing is, it felt natural.
Sitting as we were now in the board room, waiting for everyone else to arrive, I couldn't stop my leg from bouncing up and down. I was hunched forward, my elbows on the desk as we waited.
This was it, I thought. This was finally it.
Nerve wracking didn't even begin to describe what it was like to finally see your destination in your grasp. I knew there would be more missions after this, more threats and dangers but none this important. None this personal and none this close to home.
