After four hours, the plane finally landed.
Don helped me carry the luggage to the hall, and I hurriedly called to him, "Thank you, but you can give it to me."
"Which hotel are you staying at?"
"Heavenward."
This hotel was the closest to Salt City University, which made traveling back and forth convenient.
I thought we would part ways here, but Don smiled. "It just so happens that I also booked a room there. Let's go together."
This was too coincidental.
I thought to myself if he also went to Salt City University?
Seeing me frozen in place, Don called my name, "Wanda, let's go."
"Oh, yes." I followed his pace and turned my head to look at him. "Are you headed to Salt City University, Professor Logan?"
He was taken aback for a moment hearing this and then nodded. "Yes, could you be too?"
I really hit the nail on the head.
I nodded. "That's right."
"The banquet!"
"The banquet!"
We said in unison.
We looked at each other and smiled. After exchanging some information, I realized that Don and I were from the same class.
"We were from the same class. I don’t recall hearing your name when I was in school, though."
"You wouldn’t have known. I thought your name was very familiar, but I couldn’t recall it for a moment. It turns out you were an outstanding student from Salt City University. Your name was included in the scholarship every year. No wonder it was familiar," Don said with a smile.
I thought about it and said, "You’re a university professor now. Your grades must be much better than mine."
"I'm the prodigal son. I can't compare to you. You have both a good character and good skills.”
"How can someone who was invited back be unknown?" I looked at him and asked with a smile.
The car soon stopped at Heavenward Hotel.
I had booked a room online and was able to check in quickly. We happened to be on the same floor.
"Are you going back to the school tomorrow morning?"
"Certainly."
"Want to go together?"
"Okay."
