She found a seat and claimed it. Her foot resting against her packed duffel, she took a drink of her bottled water.Man, I need a bed and a drink a lot stronger than this.She allowed her lids to drop almost fully but continued to keep alert as people came and went.“Slacker.”She looked up to see Tori with a huge smile on her face. She jumped up, nearly tipping over her water.“You made it!”“Me? I was thinking the same thing about you.”They hugged. “Customs,” Affrica said.“Me, too. Thanks for coming.”“Please, I needed a vacation. Hanging out with ya in New York was a viable one. How are ya parents?”Tori tucked some braids behind her ear and sat. Affrica sat beside her. “Sorry they haven’t seen you in a while. Would love for you to come visit.”“I’ll see what I can do. It’s on me. I mean, I go over to England so much I should be able to find some time to visit.”They caught up while waiting for the bags to arrive. Then, the women climbed in a taxi and continued chatting during transport to their hotel.
