"Sarah, I need your advice," I blurt out over lunch the next day. "I'm thinking about flying to Tokyo to surprise Grayson."

My best friend's eyes widen, her fork frozen halfway to her mouth. "Whoa, that's a bold move, Ames. What brought this on?"

I shrug helplessly, pushing my salad around the plate. "I just...I miss him so much, Sarah. And seeing him last night on the video call, looking so worn down and lonely...it broke my heart."

Sarah nods sympathetically. "I get it, babe. Long-distance is tough, especially when you're used to being joined at the hip."

"Exactly," I sigh. "And I know it's impulsive and maybe even a little unprofessional, but...I feel like I need to do this. For him and for us."

"Okay, let's think through the logistics," Sarah says, her expression turning pensive. "How long would you stay? And what about the merger you're overseeing?"

I bite my lip, the practicalities threatening to dim my impetuous spark. "I was thinking just for the weekend. I can fly out Friday night and be back in time for work on Monday."

Sarah takes a slow sip of her iced tea, evaluating me over the rim of the glass. "And you're sure Grayson would welcome the surprise? You don't think it might throw him off his game?"

The question gives me pause. Am I being selfish, prioritizing my own needs over Grayson's critical deal-making?

"I don't know," I admit quietly. "I mean, he's always saying how much he misses me and wishes I was there, but...what if I'm just being a needy girlfriend who can't handle a little time apart?"

"Oh please," Sarah scoffs, waving a dismissive hand. "That man is crazy about you, Amara. Anyone with eyes can see that. He'd probably love nothing more than to have you by his side, even for a couple days."

Her unwavering confidence bolsters my own. "You're right," I declare, sitting up straighter. "I'm doing this. I'm going to Tokyo and I'm going to show Grayson how much I love and support him."

Sarah grins, raising her glass in a toast. "That's my girl. Go get your man."

As soon as she says the words, I feel a wave of fierce adoration sweeps over me. She’s right. I’m right. This is right.

The next few days pass in a whirlwind of covert preparations.

I clear my schedule with Caroline, feigning a family emergency that requires my brief absence. Thankfully, the merger proceedings are in a stable holding pattern, allowing me to step away without catastrophic consequences.

Before I know it, I'm stepping off the plane at Haneda Airport, my heart lodged firmly in my throat. Grayson thinks I'm tied up with work this weekend, so my arrival will be a complete shock.

I navigate the bustling terminal in a daze, my rolling suitcase bumping along behind me. The cacophony of foreign languages and dizzying array of neon signs only amplify my rising nerves. Thousands of faces look up at me, but I’m here for only one. It seemed like an easy task until about an hour ago.
