Zachary was able to keep his promise to set off at exactly noon with Kristin from their apartment building. The two of them took a taxi and made it to Værnes Airport only forty minutes later since the traffic on the roads was less boisterous on Sunday afternoons.
From Værnes, they traveled on a Norwegian Air flight as business-class passengers to Bergen. Kristin was especially quiet that day and often seemed lost in her own thoughts. She was not her usual charming and fun self. Consequently, the trip was dull from Zachary's perspective. So, he focused on getting a few minutes of sleep in — and only managed to emerge from slumberland when the plane was touching down on the runway at Bergen Airport.
"So, where are we headed from here?" Zachary asked Kristin as soon as they walked out of the airport's sliding doors with suitcases in tow.
