I did not expect to meet Don here, which surprised me too.
"Are you only eating that for dinner, Miss Lane?"
His eyes stayed on the half-bitten bread in my hand, a smile creeping its way to the corners of his mouth.
He looked a little awkward.
I stuffed the last bit of bread into my mouth, then smiled. "Time is almost up, so I’m just grabbing a quick bite. Where are you headed?"
"To Salt City for some matters."
"A business trip?"
"That's right."
"I'm going to Salt City too. What a coincidence." I smiled.
Don took out his ticket upon hearing this. "Really? I’m on the seven o'clock flight. What about you, Miss Lane?"
"Me too."
Don brought the ticket over. "Look, our seats happen to be next to each other."
Was there such a coincidence?
I looked down. "That’s true. It seems fated."
"It’s good that I can travel with you, Miss Lane."
"Call me Wanda. The ‘Miss’ is starting to sound a bit weird." I grinned lightly.
He nodded. "Okay, you can still call me Professor Logan. The title sounds good."
"Yes, Professor Logan."
We grinned at each other.
Don glanced at the time on his watch. "It's almost time. Let's check in."
"Okay."
He took my suitcase casually, surprising me. "Professor Logan, I can do that myself."
"How can I allow you, a woman, to carry your own luggage, when I’m here? It's not heavy anyway. It doesn't matter."
Don threw me a smile and then urged me to go over and get my ticket checked.
