It was always pretty torturous for Kimmy to sit on a bus and wait as she made her way over to see Brett, but this time it seemed particularly hard. Maybe it was the fact that the bus ride was over a day long from Columbia to Kansas City, but she'd expected it to take a while considering South Carolina and Missouri weren't exactly next door neighbors. But it was all made worse by the fact that all she could think about as she sat on the bus, waiting for it to get to its destination, was the yearning she felt for him, to feel his arms around her again, to kiss him and just be with him. Her heart felt like it was swelling every time she even thought about it, butterflies filling her stomach, and she wondered if it was really normal to still get those kind of reactions after almost a year of dating. And she didn't really care if it wasn't - what she felt for Brett, how she'd allowed herself to fall in love with him and let him return it, it had made her a better person, and she honestly didn't know how she would have survived basic training if it hadn't been for his letters and his support and love.
The second half to the trip passed a bit faster, maybe because of the fact that she'd fallen asleep around midnight and had woken up at nine, leaving only three hours before she'd actually arrive to the bus station in Kansas City, as opposed to the eleven hours she'd spent awake the previous day, having left Columbia around one in the afternoon. But even then she felt like every minute was dragging on forever, and she couldn't help but wish she'd spent the extra money and gotten a plane ticket instead. That way she would have gotten here last night, and she would have spent more time with Brett. But then, it wouldn't really have been a smart move to spend an extra amount of money when she was trying to save it, and at the end of the day she would still be able to fall asleep in his arms. She grew more excited as she started recognizing some of her surroundings, her heart beating faster as she glanced at the streets of the city as the bus pulled up to the bus station, getting out and grabbing her bags as quick as she could before heading inside, trying to spot Brett through the crowd.
