The next morning, Hansel waited in the VIP lounge of the airport while casually scrolling through his social media.

There was still half an hour until boarding time. Time seemed to pass too slowly for him. He just hoped his flight would depart as soon as possible.

Suddenly, he stopped scrolling and sat upright. Sam posted something yesterday. It was a photo of the beach, with the blue sea and sky amid the glorious sunset.

His caption wrote, “Nice weather here in Marvedis, but it matters more to me that I’ll get to meet the person I’ve been wanting to see.”

Someone commented, “Are you on a vacation in search of someone to hook up with, Sam?”

Sam replied, “That’s too general. I’m here with a specific target in mind.”

Another commented, “Sounds like someone’s found a new romance.”

Sam replied to that comment with the emoji with a toothy smile.

As Hansel scrolled further down, he started to glower even more.

He and Sam had too many mutual friends. There were still more comments even though he’d scrolled for so long. They were all guessing if Sam was in a relationship.
