Farewell And Meeting At The Airport

Tuesday and Wednesday passed by very quickly. Finland felt very sad when she entered her office on Thursday because she knew that after work she had to take Jean to the airport. He would return to Paris, and their next meeting would be in January when Finland visited him there.

Her gloomy face was obvious to her coworkers in the department, and they tried to comfort her by taking her to lunch together. The lunch invitation amused Finland a little because it turned out that her office colleagues were being nicer to her. She thought about her first two months working in LTX; she had absolutely no friends and was ostracized by them.

After work, she walked from her office to Jean's apartment on Robertson Road. The fresh air improved her mood slightly. As usual, she tried to walk beautifully, like on a runway, following Jean's teachings. But today every step on the 'runway' felt heavy and sad.
