One and a half years later....
I stood at the airport of Caspia, taking in the unfamiliar yet invigorating air of this new country. It was hard to believe how much time had passed.
Karim had come here for work two years ago, and now I was here for my own career.
In the past year and a half, Karim and I had never talked again. We both moved on as if nothing had ever happened. He never reached out to me, and I never reached out to him.
Initially, I had hopes that maybe he would still talk to me, but he never did. I didn't want to disturb him either.
After almost two years of hard work, I had finally achieved the success I had been striving for.
Two days from now was the award ceremony I had been invited to, and Mia was here with me.
Her book was nominated for the young fantasy category, while mine was selected for contemporary romance.
