And as I had promised, I didn't look back as I went up the escalator. I could feel his eyes behind me but I didn't look back as I wiped the tears from my face. I knew if I looked back, I would run right back to him. I was on my own again and I knew I had no choice but to go back home. I went to the assigned gate and stood in line to board my flight.
