Charles de Gaulle Airport

Paris

Moon in Leo - Waning Gibbous

I catch sight of Ezra as soon as I emerge through the Arrivals' door at the airport. He stands on his own, and stands out, really. The man is just that gorgeous. He waves, I wave back, hoisting the duffel bag up my shoulder. Lord, I'm tired. Stayed up all hours last night texting Alec, who's currently staying at the Delacroix's family estate outside Paris, with the rest of her family. Knowing she's adopted, I can understand why she feels like an outsider most of the time, although she assures me no one treats her any differently for it. It's for the genderfluid thing she gets a hard time. So I stayed on the phone with her all night, because that's what friends do, innit? And despite whatever else there is between us, I'm her friend.
