As the plane touched the ground in Marseille; goose bumps rose on Callie’s arms. She was coming home. It was green and fertile and always seemed to welcome her like a mother's arms. From her earliest days in Pertuis where she spent her summers walking through the vineyard, she was happiest when she was in the French countryside. With a shuddering breath, she tapped open her iPad and typed another note. During her flight over the Atlantic toward the Mediterranean, she jotted down too many thoughts to keep in her head. She hoped she was now prepared to meet Cendrine.
After the Custom’s official stamped her passport, she yanked her bag forward and started running. At the entrance doors, Callie was nearly knocked to the floor within Cendrine’s solid embrace. As she hugged Cendrine, she could feel the bulging baby through her niece’s heavy coat.
“Oh, chérie, it's so good to see you. Callie threw an arm around her as they walked toward the familiar blue Peugeot parked nearby. She fought tears from her choked throat, tossed her large bag into the trunk and settled into her seat belt. When their eyes met, the tears couldn’t be contained.
“J'ai peur. I am afraid and I am very angry at Olivier.” When Cendrine put the car into gear, she mumbled something in French.
