The next morning I finished the paperwork. The office approved the posting within a day. I packed two suitcases and left the apartment while Gu Huaichuan was at the recording studio. He had sent a message at dawn: "I will be back late. Do not wait." I did not wait. At the airport, the announcement for boarding began. I turned my phone to airplane mode. Before the screen went dark, two messages arrived. "Why did you leave first?" Then: "Zhixia is not doing well. I am taking her home. Dinner next week." I did not answer. The cabin door closed behind me. As the plane taxied, the city lights came on below. Somewhere there was his concert hall, his applause, and the person he had chosen to be his favorite listener. I was no longer in the last row waiting for my turn on camera. The plane lifted. I took off my wedding ring and dropped it into the paper bag in the seat pocket. Gu Huaichuan did not know yet. This time I would not wait until next week.0
