Mysteries of MrDan
*sighs* Well, I'm back

It's a little over 24 hours since I arrived back home, 18 hours after leaving Rina's room. We got a taxi/bus/thing to the airport where we were informed that the flight was delayed by over an hour. Normally one would see this as a bad thing, but instead it was just good to have some more time with Rina. Once I was checked in we went upstairs to the food court and spent a couple of hours just talking and doing puzzles and being cute. It was so nice. Eventually though it just became too hard to remain cheerful and upbeat. The amazing time we had spent together was about to end. I had to get on a plane that would take me so far away. I didn't feel like I was going home, I felt like I was leaving it.
So we went to the security area and stood outside it for a while. She cried so hard. It broke my heart to see how much I was hurting her by leaving. It was awful. I walked through the security area and showed my passport to the nice lady. As I was putting my things in the tray to be scanned Rina came up to the barrier for a final kiss. I won't ever forget that. Then I walked through the metal detector and that was it. I collected my things and walked toward the gate. I stopped for a moment and turned back to see if she was still there. At first I couldn't see her but I tried again after a few more steps and there she was. We waved and blew kisses and then I forced myself to walk away. We couldn't stand there forever.
While we were at JFK Rina wrote me a letter to read on the plane. It was beautiful. I cried.
I had to wait four hours at Charles De Gaul Airport (Paris) for my connection because I couldn't make the one I was originally booked on due to the delay. That was a pain in the ass but I really didn't mind. That delay had meant I could spend some extra time with Rina. There was a further delay as we circled above Manchester for 20 minutes because one runway was closed due to the (half inch) of snow. Eventually I got back and pretended to everyone that I'm happy to be here. I told them how wonderful My Petal is and showed them the gift (more on that in a later post). Then I slept alone. Suddenly it's strange to be alone. I hadn't expected that, somehow.
I had the most amazing time with Rina. Looking back it doesn't seem like we did much with our time, but we spent all of it (bar a couple of hours when she was in classes) together. From the moment we met it was comfortable and easy just being with each other. We didn't have to try. Never in my life have I been so happy for a prolonged period of time like that. It was wonderful. Leaving Rina was so incredibly painful, but so undeniably worth it.
