Fuck, I’ shit up on the fly, and it sounds plausible

“So,” I continue, bringing her hand up toband there “I’d like to try to catch an earlier flight back to Pittsburgh if you don’t mind”

She s will you be gone?”

Fuck if I know If all goes well, I could be back by the end of the week If the ELN proves to be hard asses, it could be a lot longer But I can’t tell her that
