As the view of Drelar City faded into the distance, Grace closed her eyes, feeling no attachment left behind. In the blink of an eye, another summer had arrived.

It had been six years since she’d left, and now Grace was back, holding hands with a cute little boy. Colin Floyd gazed at the vast airport of Drelar City, his little head filled with curiosity.

Grace stared at them, briefly lost in a daze, and then shook herself back to the present. She looked down at Colin, and the discomfort in her chest faded. “Colin, it’s nothing. Let’s go.”
