I laughed, and walked back over to the check-out tent. It was a beautiful day to just hang out in the sun with everyone else who had later flights. We mostly gathered near the checkout tent. It made it easier to say goodbye as people left. And Carol, who was checking each of us out as it was time to go, had a huge tub of sodas and seltzers in the shade with her.
Ten minutes after Wendy's first text, my phone buzzed again. I checked it again to see what she was going to do to Van and his swarming curiosity.
I did not laugh.
