Riley snapped the lock on his travel bag closed and brushed his hand across his face to elimated a couple of stray tears that had escaped. He picked up his passport and plane ticket, placing it carefully on top of the bag. He couldn't believe what he was about to do, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see any other solution.

He once felt so much like he belonged here. But things had changed... and now it was time to face that rather than putting off the inevitable.
