There's a remix/sequel of sorts to this drabble here:
Find the map and draw a straight line.
The night Aaron says Good night, Mama, and says it to Claire, Kate leaves.
She sends him postcards from everywhere. Chicago, New York, Miami. And then, from across the ocean. London, Berlin, Madrid. Places she could never have even imagined: Riyadh, Kampala. She never writes anything, save his name and address - her hands shake too much, and she's forgetting the smell of his hair.
Once, she sends a postcard from Los Angeles. Finally, she writes: Love you, Goober. She drops it in the mailbox and knows exactly the bus that will take her to him.
The next one, she sends from Oahu.
She's never known how to stay.
