For the next few hours, Dimitris went about readying himself for his trip. Anna called to say that the first flight out she could secure wasn’t set to leave until one a.m., so he kept busy by swimming laps in his pool, and then taking care of some work correspondence.

He canceled dinner with Stavros, his mind already on the trip that lay ahead. By eleven, he was at the Athens International Airport. At twelve thirty he boarded the waiting plane and settled into his first-class seat.

Forty minutes later, he was up in the air, flying through the clouds, heading for Washington, DC. While the flight attendants got the passengers settled in with drinks, blankets, and pillows, he pulled his laptop out of his carry-on bag and took advantage of the plane’s internet services.

A quick check of his work email showed that a few messages had come in from his marketing team, regarding the press releases they planned to put out about the upcoming deal with the US government. Dimitris read them over to ensure that he liked the message that his team was going to promote.

Satisfied that everything looked good, and with his eyes getting heavy, he accepted a water bottle from the flight attendant before closing his laptop and placing it back in his messenger bag.

It was strange. For years he’d imagined what it would be like to announce that his company was working with a major player such as the US government. He’d worked tirelessly to ensure that the product they sold was worthy of being purchased by major consumers in the industry, like government space programs. He’d dreamed of this for so long, and now it was happening.

Why doesn’t it feel better? he wondered as he looked out at the inky black sky just beyond the plane’s window. I thought that this was what I wanted. I thought that it would make me happy. Instead, all I can think about is Eva.

He adjusted his pillow, leaned his head back, and closed his eyes.

I’ll see her soon, he reminded himself. Until then, I’d better get some sleep.
