No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

The moment I boarded the plane, I shut my eyes and dozed off, sharing no words with Dustin along the way.

He seemed to sense my foul mood and wisely chose not to disturb me.

As the plane touched down, I finally spoke to him, "Dustin, I need to go see Ernest. I'll catch a cab on my own."

His lips moved slightly, "My folks came over."

I stiffened momentarily, "What did you say?"

"Yes," Dustin admitted, then explained, "My parents are really concerned about you, worried even. When you were unconscious, they'd call every ten minutes to check on you, so..."

He didn't finish his sentence before I cut him off, "I got it. I'll make sure Herschel and Jacqueline see that I'm alright, put their minds at ease."

Dustin and I walked towards the exit, and from afar, I could already spot Jacqueline and Herschel looking our way.

"Felicia," Jacqueline called out as she saw me and waved.

I waved back and hurried over with Dustin.
