Knox finished zipping his suitcase and wheeled it to the foyer.
Matias came out of the kitchen to meet him. “You’re off then?”
“Yes, the plane leaves at eight-thirty. I need to get there two hours earlier.”
He reached for his key chain, took off the key Matias had given him two and a half weeks before, and handed it back.
Knox offered his hand. “Thank you for everything. You took me into your apartment, and you didn’t even know me.”
Matias shook Knox’s hand firmly. “I’m a good judge of character, and so are my relatives.”
“I’m still in awe at how kind and welcoming your family is.”
“Just don’t trust a certain few teenagers who like to prank unsuspecting guests.”
Knox chuckled. “I learned my lesson.”
“I never thanked you for updating the agency’s website,” Matias said. “It looks great. Jacinta won’t stop talking about it. And the software you developed for my mom’s hair salon is just what she needed. I took a look at it. It’s so simple and yet so effective.”
“I’m glad it works for them.” Knox had needed something to do, and working with Jacinta on both projects had been enough thanks. “It was the least I could do after everything your family has done for me.”
When he reached the sidewalk in front of the building, Jacinta waited at the curb, the idling of her car the only sound in the early morning.
He placed the suitcase in the trunk and climbed in the passenger seat.
Jacinta held on to the wheel, a tremulous smile on her lips. Her eyes shone suspiciously bright and Knox’s heart skipped a beat. His feelings mirrored the ones he saw in her face, the anxious tightness in his chest as the upcoming separation loomed closer.
Before fastening the seat belt, Knox leaned across the console and brought his arms around her, kissing her on the lips. She kept a hand on the wheel and returned the hug with the other arm.
“Jacinta, this is not goodbye.” Another kiss. “How do you say in Portuguese when you’ll see someone really soon?”
She wiped at the corner of her eye. “Até logo.” Her expression softened.
With his fingers, Knox tilted her chin up. “This is até logo. Only até logo and not ever a goodbye.”
She nodded quickly as another tear fell. “Only até logo,” she repeated.
“We’ll video chat as often as we can, okay?”
Another nod, and another kiss, this one a little longer and deeper. He was going to miss her so much.
Jacinta put the car into gear and drove away. He kept a hand on her shoulder. He’d have held her hand but she needed it to maneuver the clutch.
When they arrived at the upper departure deck at the airport, Jacinta pulled up to the curb. They’d already decided she would drop him off instead of parking and going in with him. He’d almost let her talk him into a few more minutes together, but it would have been harder for him, and he’d reminded her she did have to work that morning. In the end, she relented.
