The news of the delayed flight had arrived like a slap of cold water. Yet Sarah barely noticed the shock. A sense of excited anticipation flooded her. Her stomach felt like a fluttering bird. The wedding was off. That was the first thought that entered her mind.

She had to get out of here. She had to *move*. She rushed toward the terminal exit. The fresh air hit her face, a jolt. She began running, her laughter echoing.

She did not know where she was going. She didn't have a plan. But for the first time in years, she felt alive, a vibrant energy coursing through her. She needed nothing but the open road.
