By the time they arrived in New York, it was already dusk. Ken escorted Ai to her dorms and shared a long goodbye out the front, with neither wanting to let go. It was only after receiving a few beeps of the horn from the cab driver that Ken finally let her go.
"I will see you this weekend. I love you."
When he got into the cab, he resisted saying some choice words to the impatient driver and rested his head back. It had been a long but fruitful couple of months in Japan and Texas and his heart was full.
It almost felt a little disappointing to be going back to college after the break. But Ken knew that he had to face the music at some stage.
'The suspension should be up in March… It's only 6 months.' He said inwardly.
Ken could be patient, especially since this concerned his career. He could focus on other things in the meantime like his studies and perhaps networking with other students.
