Wedding?
It suddenly dawned on Felicity that, yes, she had heard something about it.
Langston had mentioned it in passing, but at the time, she was too focused on getting him to head back to the States, paying little
attention.
"When is it?"
"Next month. Shall | text you the details?"
She chuckled, "Just the date is fine. | won't be making it back! I'll take a few days off to Paris, get her swedding gifts, and ship
them over!"
Upon hearing her daughter wouldn't return, Karen couldn't help but interject, "Why don't youe back for it? | mean, marriage is
such a milestone. If you miss it, it'll really upset Abigail. She's always had your back since you were kids, even shared her candy

"Mom, it's not that | don't want to..."
"I get it! You're worried about running into Langston, aren't you? Your father and | checked; since his surgery, he's been back at
work, not prying into your life one bit. Seems like he's moved on."
Felicity hesitated still.
It hadn't been long since their split, and a reunion felt awkward.
"I'll think about it."
"That's fair. I'm not trying to pressure you. It's just that Abigail's wedding is a once-in-a-lifetevent. Skipping it because of
Langston doesn't sit right with me."
If there were insurmountable issues, that would be one thing. But avoiding it just to dodge someone seemed unreasonable.
Felicity understood this.
Both Abigail and Langston had been nothing but kind to her. Apart from theplications, the affection was undeniable.
"I'll let you know tonight. Just checked into the hotel and I'm beat. Gonna catch ssleep first."
"Alright, then. Rest up. We'll talk later."
After hanging up, Felicity noticed a message from Calvin.
"How's the trip? Went off the grid, | see."
She smirked, selecting a few photos to send, "eous beyond words!"
Calvin replied instantly.
"Dang! It's so beautiful! | regret not tagging along, should've stuck to you like glue!"
That was Calvin for you, always a mood lifter.
Felicity chuckled, "Save it for a trip with your future girlfriend."
Calvin caught her drift.

"Just chatting! Gonna sleep a bit. We'll catch up later."
Without waiting for his reply, Felicity set down the phone.
The fatigue from the past few days quickly lulled her to sleep.
When she woke up, darkness had enveloped the outside world.
Alone, she turned on the lights in her hotel room and, for sreason, felt... incredibly lonely.
Now, suddenly on her own, she felt a tangible sense of solitude.
Though it was just a layover, since she was here, she might as well.
In such a place! Who could possibly know her?
Instinctively, Felicity turned towards the voice—
"Can't believe it's really you! | hesitated to approach at first!"
It was that guy from the plane, what was his nagain? She had otten.
