The bustling terminal felt as though it was always moving. Sarah sat at the gate, her flight delayed. She was feeling the weariness of travel. She was ready to be home.

As she waited, she heard the strains of a piano. Walking towards the sound, she found a musician playing her song in the corner. It was a beautiful rendition, adding a new complexity to her composition. The notes seemed to dance in the air.

Sarah leaned against the wall, her gaze drifting toward the artist. She felt a quiet, internal acceptance. She found herself smiling.
