A familiar scene was playing out among the group of friends. With Lucas at the airport and Jen giving him a teary goodbye. It was very early in the morning, and unlike last time, everyone was going back to their business after dropping him off.
"You look better than last time," Lucas joked as he kissed her forehead before looking at her slightly watery eyes and Jen laughed at herself. She did not want to be emotional, but she could not help but feel sad at his departure.
"I'll see you in a couple of weeks," Lucas said with a smile and kissed her lips. Jen smiled and nodded before she let him go. After Lucas said goodbye to his friends once more, he finally left for his flight. Jen let out a long sigh after she could no longer see his departing back.
"Let's go," Alex said as she tugged at her sister's hand, who was a bit dazed after watching the plane fly off.
"Okay," Jen said, feeling a bit down, but not like she was the first time he had left.
