The delay, announced with such a dull tone by the airline staff, felt like a burst of sunshine to Eleanor. She was scheduled to attend a series of networking events that she felt would be a chore. The fake smiles, the forced conversations... she loathed the whole scene.

She closed her eyes, imagining all the things she *would* be doing. She pictured herself curled up in her favorite armchair, with a cup of tea, and a stack of books.

A sigh, of utter bliss, escaped her lips. This unscheduled downtime was a stroke of good fortune.
