“Do you realize how hard this is?” I asked Nick as we stood in the airport.
“Yes, it’ll be tough,” he confessed.
“Lemme say bye to everyone real quick, then I’ll come back.” After giving out hugs to Howie, Kevin, and Brian, I went over to AJ, “Call me.”
“I will.”
“A LOT!”
“I promise,” he said.
“Promise to keep this promise?” I smiled.
He cracked a small smile, “Yeah...I promise.”
“Ok, I’ll miss ya.”
“Same here.”
“See ya in a few weeks,” I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“Bye.”
“You have to call me everyday,” I said to Nick after AJ had walked down the gate.
“You can count on it.”
“Good.”
“We really gotta go,” Kevin told Nick.
“Ok, just a minute,” he turned to me and took my hands in his. “I love you, Lindsey.”
“I love you too, Nick.” I hugged him then kissed him passionately.
“Bye,” he let go of me and walked to the gate. He turned and blew me a quick kiss before disappearing onto the plane.
