The automatic doors slide open with a pressurized sigh, unleashing a wash of conditioned air and the deep, resonant growl of idling aircraft. The flicker of overhead fluorescent lights plays across the polished terminal floor as Kannedy emerges, his pilot's uniform immaculate, his suitcase rolling behind him. Every line of his body is taut. His eyes scan the curb and find you, and for a suspended heartbeat, the cacophony of the airport seems to mute itself. He clears his throat—a short, sharp sound that cuts the evening chill—and forcibly steadies his expression into its usual impassive mask. "you," he says, his voice a low, even baritone, but his gaze tells a different story: a quiet, brewing storm.
