At Fort City International Airport.
Harper stopped in her tracks to text Sean.
"Hi, Sean. I’m about to walk out of the arrival gate. Have you arrived yet? Please send me your location. I will directly go there from the airport."
After sending the text, Harper continued walking. But she stopped again just a few meters away from the man who had recently appeared even more frequently in her dreams. Sean was standing only a few meters ahead of her.
He stood out among the crowd waiting for their family and loved ones with his athletic look and calm gaze, even though he only wore a casual black shirt with blue jeans pants. A few girls walking nearby stopped to steal glances at him. He ignored them all, staring at his cell phone like he had just read something.
’My goodness! He is here!’ Harper silently tried to calm her heart as she saw him finally look in her direction. She didn’t want to make him wait, so she continued to walk to him.
Harper felt her heart race as she noticed a few envious looks from the women around them as she stopped right before him.
"H-Hi, S-Sean," she greeted him, slightly excited and nervous.
She didn’t know why, but she felt all her words betrayed her. She suddenly forgot the words she had prepared to say to him on her way here.
"Hi," Sean answered calmly and quickly, taking the suitcase from Harper and gesturing for her to follow him.
Harper silently walked beside him, trying to match his fast, long stride. She was thankful she wore sneakers; it would be troublesome to wear heels when following him.
They walked toward the parking lot for a few more minutes without anyone speaking.
A few times, Harper wanted to break the silence with the question she had in mind, but all the words she had stuck in her lips until they finally arrived at the parking lot.
Later,
Sean stopped before the brand-new black Maserati Levante. He didn’t immediately put the suitcase into the trunk but opened the passenger seat door for her.
"Please…" Sean said softly, gesturing to her to enter the car.
Without saying anything, she entered the car, holding her breath as they stood so close. His masculine scent filled her sense of smell as he put his palms up to protect her head. Slowly, her heart pounded.
After securing her seat belt, she saw Sean handling her suitcase through the rearview mirror. Her heart was still beating fast as she saw how handsome and calm he appeared.
She had never felt her heart racing like this around a man before. This was the first time her nerves had gotten the best of her.
’Harper! Stay calm, okay... He might think you’re too desperate to date him. Stay calm! Stay calm!’ She tried hard to distract her mind while turning her gaze ahead, ignoring him.
However, his familiar scent became strong once he sat next to her. She dared not look at him, worried he might see her nervousness.
Finally, the car engine started and left the parking lot.
Harper saw Sean’s reflection in the window, looking solemn as he drove the car. She felt relieved; he hadn’t asked her anything because she was still trying to calm her heart.
