If there was one thing that could describe Sunset right now, “jittery” would be that word. Right now the girl was practically vibrating enough to set off the San Andreas Fault, and more importantly was acting like a long-lost twin of Pinkie Pie.
“Sunny!” Octavia snarled in a mock-angry tone. “Calm down, would you?”
“I can’t help it,” the flame-haired girl replied. “I’m just…I dunno, nervous.”
“You act as though you’ve never had to wait for someone to come back before.”
Sunset rolled her eyes. “That’s because I’ve never had to wait for someone to come back before, remember?” Embarrassed by her comment, Octavia turned away.
Evening, however, stepped in. Patting Sunset on the shoulder, he said, “Yeah, it never gets any easier than this, believe me. I remember a few times when me and my brothers used to wait for Dad to come back from various business trips he went on. And between the first time and the hundredth time, it sticks with you. Even when you’re perpetually at an airport like Ballad and I are, there’s still something about waiting for your loved ones that never gets easier. But you know what?” he asked, turning her around to look into her eyes and give her a comforting smile, “It’s not any easier being on that plane waiting to come back to you.”
“Really?” A light of hope flashed in Sunset’s cyan eyes.
