Time To Leave
Even though Claudia wasn’t ready to leave, she couldn’t stall any longer. She kissed her daughter on the cheek and tried to hold back the tears that were welling in her eyes. She had never been away from Ava like this before and it was already hurting.
All through her taxi ride and her wait in the airport lounge she kept texting her niece to make sure everything was fine. J’Ann was keeping her in the loop until her last message- which went unanswered.
