She felt a wave of nausea. The air in the terminal felt thick, cloying, like a stagnant swamp. She couldn't stomach the thought of the others celebrating without her. The thought of all their smiles, their clinking glasses…

She gripped the arms of the chair so tightly that her knuckles were white. The airport seemed like a cage. She couldn't stand being here.
