Avery checked the time after ending the call.

She wondered where Elliot was.

The airport was located in a secluded area outside the city. If he was in the city, it would take him at least an hour to get here.

There were only forty minutes left until Avery had to board the plane.

There was no way she would wait for him.

If she missed her flight, she would not be able to leave the city till the next morning, when the next flight was scheduled to leave.

Time was not on her side.
