He leaned against the cold glass of the terminal window, watching the planes take off. Each departure was a fresh stab of frustration. He was supposed to be in New York, to meet his best friend's newborn baby.

He had prepared a special gift, a small toy, a symbol of their bond. He imagined the scene, the new parents' exhausted happiness. He felt a sudden, sharp stab of something akin to envy.

He pictured his friend holding the child, and the idea of missing this moment was unbearable. He felt a growing impatience. He wanted to be there, to share in the joy, to be part of the celebration. The wait was torture.
