Update 5: The return of Lucy
"You are just in time to pick Lucy up from the airport" - said Henry in a deep voice. Lucy's father was a tall muscular man, with a serious face, but a warm smile.
He did not remember me nor did he know about my crush for Lucy. "Alright, get in the car" - he ordered and he drove off along the Coastal Driveway.
"You have been away for a very long time, you surely don't know Airportsdale."
In fact, as we drove into what look like a brand new neighborhood, I was stunned to see the clean streets and luxurious high-rises in this town in the middle of what used to be the vast Surep farmlands.
Henry handed me some postcards. Look at them, he said while we sped along the highway.

It was a rather new and congested highway. "I want to avoid paying the toll at the old highway" - he explained.
- "Lucy is been away for a long time. She just finished an internship in Kyoto. I'm glad she is back, we all missed her."
- "Which terminal, 1 or 2?," - I asked as I pulled a small map of the airport.
- "You mean the old terminal? - he replied, with a laugh - "they only use that for long distance flights nowadays."
The new terminal they were talking about before I left had already been built.
It is a shiny new building, well, in fact, 4 new terminals surrounding an enormous green plaza with the air control tower in the middle.
"Daddyy!!! - cried a voice as soon as we got to the terminal. - "You arrived fast, darling. And hey, Tony is here."
I stepped forward, and Lucy embraced me like never before. I hugged her back. I almost cried.
"Look at this picture I took of Airportsdale from the airplane" - said Lucy.
We drove back and talked for hours. I went back home that day with a smile on my face.
