My friends and I ran in the rain from the restaurant to our favorite bar. I shouted along the way that I couldn't stay long. One glass of wine later, I was on my way to Bishop International Airport again.

I asked my boyfriend if he would be kind enough to wait while I went up to the counter to ask if I should fly out tonight or wait until tomorrow. They were confident I would make my connection, which had also been delayed.
I texted my boyfriend that I was off and he could head back downtown.
