On the tarmac outside, the airport lights cast a soft orange glow, the rumble of departing planes a distant echo. Inside the private lounge, the air carries the scent of fries and salt. Oscar is wedged between Lando, Alex, and Carlos, his phone screen glowing with an ongoing thread of messages to you. A private smile touches his lips as he adds another heart.

He holds it close, breath held, waiting for your image to appear.
