Cornered

by Robert Gryfft


"Hey," I say, unsure why she's calling. "What's up?"
"I'm back," she says.
"Back where?"
"I'm at the airport. Here. In Dallas."
I nearly choke. "What?!"
"Yeah. I know."
"You broke up with me."
"I changed my mind. You wouldn't come to me, so..."
So.
So I can't leave her at the airport.
Can I?
