Draft Night (1)

The next day, Mark saw Ken off as he went back to the airport to head home. Ken hoped that it would not be long before he saw the man again, but it would all depend on where he got drafted in a few days time.

The trip went by quickly, something the Ken was thankful for. Perhaps it was because he was deep in thought the entire time, or maybe he had just gotten used to flying by now.

He caught a cab back home and grabbed his bags, wheeling them up to the front of the house. Ken could smell something delicious coming from the kitchen. Just imagining his mom cooking up a storm like always put a smile on his face.

"I'm home." Ken announced, opening the door and heading inside.

"Welcome home Kenny!"

Before he could place his bags down, Yuki rushed forward and embraced him tightly. "I'm so happy to see you sweetie, it's been too long." She said. With their height difference, the woman's face was buried in his chest.
