But , alas , I had a flight to catch , a job and an apartment to return to . I left my Dutch friend , sadly , and went through immigration and got to my gate , where they performed security . I got to my seat with 20 minutes to take off .

Question: Will this person see their Dutch friend again ?
Answer: Security or immigration will prevent this person from every traveling again .The stress of returning to a job and empty apartment will keep these people apart .These to people were sad to part , and they have visited with each other before , there will be more visits in the future .These people are not well suited for each other and they will not see each other again .
