Martin repeated it to himself over and over again as he watched Sunny and Alice take off from the dirt airstrip that served the North Mara. Mingati was standing beside him.

“I thought you were smart.”

Martin turned to his spotter. “What was I supposed to do? Tie her up and keep her in my tent?”

The old man shrugged. “She was happy here.”

“That’s illegal, Mingati.” He turned and watched the plane disappearing into the distance. “This is not goodbye.”

Sunny watched the airstrip disappear behind her, Martin standing near the dusty Land Cruiser. She watched until everything she’d fallen in love with had disappeared, then she looked to Alice and tried to force a smile.

“Do you want to go back?” Alice’s eyebrows were up. “We don’t have to go to the beach.”

“Don’t be silly, this is your vacation too.”

“You look like a pathetic puppy.”

“I’m not a pathetic puppy.” She forced a smile. “I am an excited friend who is ready to party with her friend on her vacation.”

Alice smirked. “You’re a pathetic puppy.”

“I’m not.” She felt her phone buzz and she pulled it out. “Martin texted me.”

“Does he miss you already?” Alice batted her eyes.

She looked at her screen and saw a line of flower emojis along with three words.

I miss you.

“This isn’t goodbye.” Sunny blinked back tears. “When we get to the beach, we’re forming a plan, Alice.”

“Oh?” Her friend raised both eyebrows. “What kind of plan? About you moving to Nairobi? I love that plan. I have been trying to get more of my friends to relocate for five years.”

“No, not relocating to Nairobi. We’re going to make a plan for how to have a successful long-distance romance.” She quickly texted Martin back that she also missed him and she’d send him pictures of the ocean. “We’re still getting to know each other. We just have to figure out how to do that with an ocean between us.”

Alice snorted. “Okay. I have a Swahili program that I can recommend for you.”

“Perfect!”

This could work. Why not? People met and fell in love at long distance all the time. Didn’t they? She wasn’t giving up on the kindest and most handsome man she’d ever met just because he lived on another continent.

They could make this work.
