The next day, Sienna met Aaron on what she was coming to think of as their corner.

“Hey,” he said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and giving a squeeze. “How are you doing?”

“Okay.” She’d spent most of the night alternating between crying and tossing and turning. She knew Nana was in a better place, but wished she’d had a chance to say goodbye. “I’m flying home tomorrow for the funeral. Just a quick weekend trip.”

“Let me drive you to the airport.”

“You don’t have to do that. I can take the bus.”

“I want to, Sienna.”

She smiled up at him, her heart brimming with gratitude. “Thank you.”

“What time do you need to leave for the airport?”

“About two o’clock. Will that cut into your class schedule?”

“Even if it did, I’d miss for you.” He kissed her on the temple. “I’m here for you, okay?”

Sienna stayed up late Thursday night, doing laundry and packing. She was bleary-eyed during class on Friday, unfocused and tired. But there were quizzes in both her classes, so it was good she’d decided not to skip. Taking a quiz while half-awake was still better than not taking it at all.

Aaron picked her up right on time. He carried her bag to his car, and they left for the airport.

“Who’s picking you up in Salt Lake?” Aaron asked as they drove.

“My parents. Or maybe just my mom. She takes advantage of every opportunity to leave the house without Conner and Cameron. Those two are a handful.”

“I’d love to meet them sometime,” Aaron said.

Sienna smiled, imagining Aaron playing in the backyard with her brothers. “I’d like that.”

“When are you coming back so I can pick you up?”

“Oh, you don’t need to do that. My flight comes in really late Sunday night. I’ll take the bus.”

Aaron gave her a stern glare. “I’m not letting you ride home that late on the bus. What time?”

“Eleven-thirty.” Sienna reached across the center console and squeezed his hand. “Thank you.”

They parked in short-term parking, and Aaron waited while she got her boarding pass. She didn’t have any bags to check, which made it easier. Then he walked her to security.

“Have a good trip,” he said. “Text or call when you get there so I know you’re okay.”

“I will.”

“Can I call you tomorrow?”

Sienna nodded, unable to stop the smile from spreading. “I’d like that.”

He leaned forward, crushing her in a hug. She wrapped her arms around him, relishing the feel of his body against hers. She gazed into his hazel eyes, feeling herself falling. Her eyes were magnetically drawn to his lips. They were full and a soft peach color that had her unconsciously swallowing. She closed her eyes, eager and ready to kiss him.

His lips landed on her forehead. Sienna’s eyes popped open. Aaron stepped back, looking regretful. Don’t chicken out, she thought. Kiss me!

“I’ll miss you,” he said, giving her another quick hug.

“I’ll miss you, too,” Sienna said.

“Call me when you get there. And I’ll pick you up Sunday night at eleven-thirty.”

“Okay. And thank you.”

Aaron let out a groan and pulled her to him again.
