It’s just like in those movies.
The crowd parts, and suddenly Ben is right there, fidgeting with his plane ticket, his brow furrowed, his lips slightly parted in confusion. Li’s face lights up, and before she can even comprehend what is happening, she’s propelled forward. Her feet barely touch scuffed tile.
There’s that mandatory split second of hesitance, but before she can stop, she’s leaping into his unsuspecting arms.
Ben stumbles, caught off guard, and Li is terrified that he’s not going to catch her. That the arms thrown awkwardly around his neck aren’t going to be enough to hold her up. That the entire airport is going to witness her fall.
But then he pulls her close, burying his nose in her shiny black hair.
The smell of her shampoo is intoxicating.
The smell of his deodorant is just like she remembered it.
And the kisses - the kisses taste like they do in those movies.
