Waiting at an airport like that, yes, that’s a very Casablanca feel. I’m intrigued by the connections between ‘her’, the narrator, and ‘him’. The possible triangle adds to the Casablanca feeling. Sorry… 🙂
I think Sonya at one time had a relationship with the unnamed protagonist and there’s much unresolved. And yes, of course there’s Casablanca implications, no doubt about it.
Shades of Casablanca for me. I liked it.

I really need to see this film…
He must be worth the wait. Or he has something that is. Nice one.
Thank you Sandra.
How wonderful.. I also thought about Casablanca…
I actually haven’t seen the film… Funny that.
It’s a great movie… one of the few I have seen many times.

Very Casa Blanca – if you haven’t seen it, YOU MUST!
The change of tense was a mistake, I thought I’d picked them all out. Thanks for highlighting that one.

Right, that’s it, I’m watching Casablanca this weekend because these references are driving me crazy.
I hope you’re having fun! You’re in for a treat.
Very tense and very suggestive of a bigger story.
Most of my shorts are I find. I’m trying to work towards creating a more succinct piece. Thanks for stopping by.
I’m picturing something quite shady.

What an interesting story, it begs for more.
I agree that he’s indeed a special person if she makes an exception for him. She doesn’t sound like a patient person. Well written, Carol. 🙂 — Suzanne
