The sun was starting to set in his rear view mirror as he drove on, only a short distance from his destination. He had been on the road for almost twelve hours, but was determined not to stop until he got there. It had been too long since he'd seen her, and that now he finally had the opportunity he wasn't wasting it. As he stifled a yawn that was trying to creep up on him, he grabbed his iced coffee from the cup holder and took a long sip.
It had been four years since Shaun had seen his sister, though it wasn't entirely his fault. He had been stationed overseas, and was unable to come home very often because of it. She had been married, moving out to the East Coast, so was usually unable to come see him when he visited their parents. He wasn't able to come to her wedding, though she sent him pictures. He had missed a lot of important dates in his little sister's life since they had become adults, and he wouldn't let her down again.
Her birthday was only a few days away, and she had asked if he could come visit, telling him that would be the best present he could give her. He had been out of the service for a few months now, but still hadn't had the time to go visit her, but after such a request, he made the time. He wouldn't let her down again, even if he truly couldn't be blamed for all the events he'd missed in her life while serving his country.
It was just a little further, and he'd get to see his sister's smiling face in person for the first time in years. He missed that smile. It was so contagious. No one could see it and not want to smile right along with her. He took another sip of his coffee and focused on the road. It wasn't far now.
