The wait for the boarding call was getting long and frustrating. She had remained at their seats so they weren’t taken by other waiting passengers. Glancing out the terminal window, you could see out onto the tarmac. The snow was falling heavily, workers were doing their best to clear it. Liv always hated being seated for too long, she was desperate to go for a walk.
When Heath arrived back she smiled softly at him, “I don’t mind waiting,” Liv told him, happy she was now able to rest her head on his shoulder. She hadn’t had a proper family Christmas before, even though she wouldn’t be alone this year, it was important to Heath so it was important to her.
“I’ve got snacks in my carry-on, I will assume that you will want some,” her carry-on bag was just under her seat, she hadn’t been too sure if there would be a food court beyond the security gates. “Or we can go get restaurant food? Take out then come sit back here,”
Heath sighed then rested his head on hers as his thumb stroked the top of her hand.
"Restaurant food sounds nice. Do you want to go and take care of it? You've been sitting for the past two hours. It's not good for you."
The man was annoyed with the crowd and the noises and he was much more restless than usual. He hated the smells, the noise and... well, the people. They were so loud. Too loud. He thought fondly of the times he'd spent in his home with Liv, and also his library-bookshop where people mostly quiet.
But places like this — it wasn't for a moonborn.
"Maybe you should visit the loo too. We don't know when we'll get on that bloody plane", he grumbled and he reached for his wallet with his free hand and gave it to her.
