The next morning, Ted met her at the church just like he promised. It was another Assembly of God church. It was very different than the one they attended in Clear Mountain; traditional in both the style of music and attire. It wouldn’t be a place she would frequent, but she did appreciate the pastor’s message about hope and love.

Afterward, Ted suggested they go to lunch before she had to return her rental car and head to the airport. They found a quiet little bistro only a couple of blocks away.

They asked the hostess to seat them at a back table where they could have some privacy.

“It’s been nice spending time with you,” Ted admitted. “I’m going to miss you when you’re gone.”

“I know. I don’t want to go. It stinks we both have work tomorrow.”

He nodded, reaching out and squeezing her hand across the table. “I wish we had more time together.”

“Let’s just enjoy what we have.”

The spent their last hour together enjoying their meal and talking about everyone back in Clear Mountain. Deanna asked a couple of questions about the academy and Ted’s instructors. The time went by fast, and before she knew it, they were leaving the restaurant.

As they stood by their vehicles, she could tell Ted didn’t want to say goodbye. He was shifting his stance from one leg to the other.

Deanna reached out and placed her hand on the side of his face. “It’s okay, Ted. I know this is hard. I hate saying goodbye, too.”

“I really like having you here. It’s going to be hard adjusting to you being gone again.”

“We just have to make the best of the current situation. It won’t be forever.”

Ted placed his hand on hers. “I hope not. I can’t imagine my life without you in it.” He pulled her in a final time, letting his lips move down to hers in a final farewell. This kiss wasn’t like the rest. It was filled with sadness and regret. Neither of them wanted to say goodbye, but they knew they had to.

“Text me and let me know you got home safely,” Ted said, helping her into the car. “I don’t care how late it is. I want to make sure you’re okay.”

She nodded. “Will do. In the meantime, go study so you can make me proud.”

As she drove off, she watched Ted in her rearview mirror. He was on the edge of the street with his hands pushed into his khaki pants pockets, his head hung low. His dejected figure would be the last thing she saw before he drifted out of sight. It wasn’t the way she wanted to remember him, but it seemed it was all she was going to have to keep her going until she was lucky enough to see him again.
