The flickering airport monitor mocked Elias with its unchanging delay announcement. He ran a hand through his already rumpled hair, the image of her, Chloe, a supernova in his mind. He’d meticulously planned this trip to surprise her, to be there for her art gallery opening.

His stomach clenched, a nervous flutter. Every passing second felt like a physical blow. He replayed their last conversation, her laugh echoing in his head. The weight of the world seemed to rest on his shoulders, all because of a grounded plane.

He paced the terminal, a caged animal. He imagined her, radiant and proud, surrounded by admirers. He wanted to be the one to see her first, to share that moment with her. He wanted to reach out and touch her, and see the look in her eyes. The frustration burned, a fire that threatened to consume him. He pulled out his phone, composing and deleting messages, each one feeling inadequate.
