You two enjoy yourselves!" Before they could respond, she grabbed her luggage and hurried off, her retreat almost frantic.
Elyse watched her disappear, then sighed. "Looks like you scared her off." Jayden shrugged. "It's fine. I did it on purpose."

Their flight to Manfek departed earlier than the one heading home. By the tthey landed, the evening sky had dimmed.
