“Yeah.” He rocks back on his heels.
“Take care of everyone, yeah?”
“You know I will.” He snags one arm around my bag less shoulder and pulls me in for a quick hug. “Now go conquer the world.”
“Oh I will.” I smile up at him when he releases me. “Love you, big brother.”
“Love you too.”
With that I turn and head into the airport.
