  &quot;Sir, we have to leave now if we are going to catch that flight,&quot; she said, and then she was gone again.
  &quot;You are traveling?&quot; Mitchell asked. Then I shouldn t keep you waiting. 
  &quot;Yes... but...&quot; 
  &quot;Be safe.&quot; She said almost in tears and turned immediately to leave. Leaving him standing there like a fool again, just like she had done at the Helen Adam charity fundraising.
  He put away the ring in his pocket. And five minutes later, he was on his way to the airport to catch his flight. 
  Mitchell will have to wait, but as soon as he gets the business over with, he will be back for her. She can t just walk away from his life like that, not now that he was starting to crave more of her. But for now, he will have to concentrate on what is at hand.

  &quot;I know you will be back for me,&quot; she said with conviction. But until then, have this to keep you warm.

  &quot;Hi,&quot; she said, stopping in front of Mitchell who was still standing not far away from the door. Her face was expressionless.
  &quot;Hi.&quot; She replied, calmly
  &quot;I told you he d be back for me, didn t I? I figured you already bor
