At the baggage claim I picked up my two bags and chose a lonely marble post to rest at. I dropped my bags against it and negligently sat on them, chin in my hands, and continued to search through the dwindling crowd. Hoping, but not expecting, the next face to come into view to be his.

He darted through the crowd at the baggage claim, head whipping around, eyes darting furtively. For me. He was looking for me. He'd missed me. Of course. I drank in the sight of him before he saw me. I always forget how tall he is, but he towers over the people around him. Somehow he looked even larger in his starched, pristine white Navy uniform, and my pulsed raced at the sight of him in it. |
