The endless cycle of "delayed" announcements was making her feel like she was trapped in a cage. Her flight to New York, where her cousin was getting married, had been postponed. She had promised to be there, to support her cousin, to be a bridesmaid.

She imagined the wedding, the joy, the celebrations. An unfamiliar weight settled in her chest, a feeling of weariness she couldn't explain. She hadn't been married, and she wasn't sure if she ever would be.

She paced the terminal, her steps mirroring the unrest in her soul. She thought about her cousin, her happiness, and felt a strange pang of sadness. She wished, with a sudden intensity, that she had someone.
