Rose let out a shaky breath, meeting his gaze. “You’re going to be great, Diego.”
“Will I?”
“How can you not?”
He didn’t know what he was going to be.
Or even what he was chasing.
But it was something.
Diego planned on finding it.
Overhead, the same message from before repeated loudly.
Rose gestured at the line for security. “Go. But call me.”
“I will.”
One more hug later, and Diego joined the rest of the waiting people to go through security. He could have worried about a lot of things in that moment, but the only thing he really thought about was that he hoped his skateboard made it through the flight under the plane without any damage … even if he could replace it relatively easily.
Stupid?
Yeah.
But hell …
He didn’t care about the rest.
He couldn’t.
Once he was on the plane and found his seat, Diego pulled out his phone. Ready to turn it on flight mode, he decided to check his social feed one more time. His most recent post was right at the top when he tapped on the icon, and the app filled the screen. A shot of the airport’s sign that he’d caught on his way by.
Catch you later, NY, was his chosen caption.
He clicked on the star icon under the picture, bringing up the many likes and comments attached to his post. Usually, his posts filled up so much that he couldn’t reply or like every single one anymore. He did like to scroll through the top few quickly because they continued to update with new ones and that was how he was able to see the most.
A black heart emoji comment happened to be right at the very top when he refreshed. The comment was attached to a username he hadn’t noticed before—thatgirlluv. There wasn’t a profile picture. The profile was also private without an option to follow or friend request when he checked.
It didn’t matter. He knew and so did she. They would simply meet up later. Right now, his whole life was waiting. He needed to catch up with that.
