The bright morning sun streamed through the wide windows of the private jet terminal.
Daniel adjusted his black shirt while checking his schedule on his phone.
He was a successful businessman who had built his own tech company from nothing.
Yet despite all his current wealth and status, his heart felt completely empty inside.
He carried a velvet ring box inside his coat pocket every single day.
It held a bright diamond ring he had bought two whole years ago.
That was the exact day the love of his life disappeared without a trace.
Emily had left his apartment one morning and never returned back to him.
He spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to locate her across the state.
Every private investigator he hired came back empty handed with no clues.
He stepped onto the luxury jet cabin to prepare for his business trip.
The jet engine began to hum softly as the ground crew finished loading baggage.
Daniel pulled out the velvet box to look at the sparkling ring once again.
Suddenly he heard soft footsteps coming up the short flight of cabin stairs.
A flight attendant guided a young woman holding a tiny toddler in her arms.
Daniel looked up from the velvet box and completely froze in total shock.
The woman wearing the simple green dress was non other than Emily herself.
She stopped dead in her tracks as her brown eyes met his gaze.
The small toddler in her arms wore a bright pink outfit with white shoes.
Emily gasped softly as her grip on the child tightened with sudden anxiety.
Emily: Daniel?
Daniel: Emily...
They stood locked in place as the silent cabin air grew thick with tension.
Daniel could feel his heart pounding wildly against his ribcage in deep disbelief.
The woman he searched for across the entire country was standing right here.
