After the plane landed, I quickly inserted a new phone card and sent a message to Kevin's mother to let her know that I was safe. Although our future relationship may be limited to strangers, I am still grateful for all the preparations she made for me abroad.

Soon, I received her reply, but the content was a little unexpected: "I'm sorry, I..." The message seemed to be not yet fully edited, and then a phone call came in. I picked up the phone and heard Kevin's hurried voice:

" Linn , if I hadn't happened to see you texting mom, were you going to stay away from me?" He made a series of guesses, whether it was because of the incident with the co-pilot or the misunderstanding with the courier, but I knew in my heart that these were just the tip of the iceberg. There were too many reasons to leave him, and after seven years of accumulation, I didn't know where to start.
