Chapter 38: Failed plans

Nolan's POV "I'm here!" I heard Audrey scream out excitedly from the living room. I was done getting ready for the airport. I picked up my phone and fastened my wristwatch before stepping out. "Nolan, where are you?" she asked. I was just about to reply when she appeared in front of me. "Oh, there you are," she said with a smile as she ran to embrace me. "Why are you so happy?" I asked with an amused smile as we headed toward the living room together. "It's been such a long time since I went on a trip," she furrowed her brows before I could speak. "Before you inform me that we went on a trip during the school break, I know that but it's been a month since then and I've been really stressed lately. This is my opportunity to unwind and relax," she finished with a contented sigh. I started to walk towards the door. "Am I too early?" she inquired. I shook my head. "No, I was just about to leave for the airport. Why didn't you just meet me there instead of coming all the way here?" I asked.
