As Everett and Maverick collected their luggage and stepped out of the airport, they saw Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock emerging from the terminal with their own suitcases.
Olivia Whitlock
Everett, dear, how was the journey?
Everett Riordan
It was... alright. Long flight, you know.
Mateo Whitlock
(looks at Maverick)
Mateo Whitlock
So, Maverick, where will you two be staying?
Mateo Whitlock
With us or at your place?
Maverick Whitlock
(looks at Everett)
Everett Riordan
(swallows hard)
Everett Riordan
Um .. I'm okay with whatever you want
Everett Riordan
(shifts uncomfortably under Maverick's gaze)
Maverick Whitlock
We'll be staying at my mansion.
Mateo Whitlock
Great
Olivia Whitlock
Everett, don't hesitate to give me a call if you need anything
Olivia Whitlock
We will visit you in the weekend
Everett Riordan
(nods)
Mateo Whitlock
Take care, both of you
With that, they parted their ways
Everett and Maverick got into the car which was already waiting for then
As the car pulled away from the airport, Everett and Maverick found themselves enveloped in a thick silence that seemed to stretch on indefinitely
The air in the car felt heavy with unspoken tension, each passing moment only serving to accentuate the awkwardness between them.
Everett Riordan
(looking out of the window)
Everett Riordan
(mind racing with millions of thoughts and questions)
Everett Riordan
(looks at Maverick)
Maverick Whitlock
(lost in his own thoughts)
Maverick Whitlock
(gaze fixed outside the window)
Though they sat mere inches apart, it felt as though a chasm separated them, a silent barrier that neither knew how to breach.
