So he’s that kind of big brother after all, and given the age gap between them, it doesn’t seem unreasonable. Especially since it’s been over a year now since he’s been able to hug her. The reassurances Sadie offers are what makes him smile brightly again, “…guess I can’t deny that.”
As expected, the taxi does arrive, and it signals the end of the night. Welcoming her in for that last embrace, he is reluctant to part and is puzzled by how much harder it seems to have to let go. He will see her at school tomorrow after all. Slowly his arms do loosen from around her, and Benjiro nods, “I don’t think any other dance will ever live up to this one.”
Waiting for Sadie to enter the taxi, he’ll wish her a good night then close the door for her. He steps back up onto the curb to watch the vehicle pull away, and once it’s turned off the street, he’ll start making his way back to his great aunts’ house. He heads for the station not at a leisurely walk, but with a spry step that edges at times on a run.
