“Thanks. I think I’m going to head out. Congratulations again.” The sheepish look on his face made Emma pretty sure he was sneaking off to meet up with his girlfriend, but she couldn’t say she blamed him.
“Thanks, Trent. I’m so glad you came out with us to celebrate.”
“Any time.” He said his good-byes to the rest of the table and headed out.
“I think he’s meeting up with Iris,” Ryan said, watching him go.
“Me, too. He seems really into her lately.”
“Yeah.” And Ryan didn’t look too pleased.
“So what’s the plan, Emma?” Gabby asked, butting back into the conversation. “When do you think you’ll be leaving us to head off to Georgia?”
“I think I’ll probably leave after the memorial opens. That will give me time to get settled in an apartment and find a part-time job before classes start.”
“I’m already planning my first visit,” Gabby said with a smile. “Girls’ night out in Atlanta.”
“Definitely.” She glanced over at Ryan, who’d gotten suspiciously quiet.
Would he visit? Or would it be a final good-bye?
