The news of the delay sparked a flicker of annoyance, quickly replaced by something else – a deep, almost childlike contentment. Sarah’s flight to her best friend's engagement party was postponed. She took a deep breath, and a slow smile spread across her face. She felt ready to sing.

She strolled through the airport, letting her feet carry her wherever they wished. She stopped at a shop and bought a silly magazine. She bought a giant water bottle and drank deeply, feeling the cool liquid soothe her. The thought of all the things she *should* be doing vanished.
