Present

Eric's hands moved on the bags, stuffing clothes as fast as he could. His eyes kept on roaming to the picture of him and Phia, his mind slapping him for his pathetic heart as he fought the will to put it in too. Milan leaned against the doorframe, watching his baby brother fight himself, before coming over to him and enveloping him in his arms. Eric collapsed in tears in his brother's arms, sobbing his heart out as Milan soothed him.

"I'm pathetic..."

"No, you're not. You're just in love."

Lucia looked over at Aaron, falling in love every second she looked at him.

"Lucy? You okay, mi amor?"

"I'm fine."

"No, you're not." The gunner walked over to his girlfriend, taking his hand in hers and pulling her closer. "What's wrong?"

"I have a question."

"Ask. I'll answer anything."

"Aaron, I've loved you for 8 years... You put me back together. You tore my walls apart. Babe... Will you marry me?" Aaron felt tears of joy fill his eyes as he looked at his girlfriend. Her eyes looked down in worry, making Aaron pull her closer, until there was no space between them, before making her look up.

"I'm sure you forgot to buy a ring, mi amor. So I'll give you mine instead." Aaron smiled at his girlfriend before pulling out the ring he bought the week before. "I bought this a week ago. Never really got the guts to go on one knee. Everyone has doubts atleast once in their lives. Everyone's scared. But the thing is... I'm not scared anymore. I'm not scared to be with you, Lucia. Four words. One question. And it will change everything, Lucia Jones. Will you marry me?"

Sophia couldn't make sense of what they said, but she could see the world ripping apart at its seam. Her legs moved without her consent as her brain processed what her heart refused to- Eric was leaving. When she snapped back to reality from the shock, her eyes registered the steering wheel her hands steered, and the way running to the airport.

"I'm coming, Eric. Please don't go..."

Eric handed her boarding pass to air hostess, smiling at her making her flutter her eyes at him. "Thank you." Eric said, looking back slowly, as if hunting for a glimpse of her. Eric sighed as he placed the bag on his shoulder, and walking in the open flight door.
