The boarding call for flight 42B echoed through the terminal, but Amelia just grinned, twirling a strand of blonde hair around her finger. Delayed. Wonderful! She’d been dreading this. The conference, the presentations, the endless networking – a necessary evil to climb the corporate ladder. Now, however, the universe had intervened.

She skipped over to the duty-free shop, her steps light and bouncy, and purchased a bottle of the ridiculously expensive champagne she'd always coveted. Bubbles were the perfect accompaniment to the unexpected freedom.

“Guess I’ll have to reschedule that sales pitch,” she murmured to herself, a delighted chuckle escaping her lips. "More time to… celebrate." The thought alone made her heart leap in her chest.
