The announcement echoed through the terminal: the flight to her sister's destination wedding was grounded. Lisa felt an immediate relaxation throughout her body. The thought of enduring the elaborate ceremony, the forced fun, and the drama surrounding her sister's choices, felt distant and unimportant. She sank deeper into her seat, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

She took out her knitting needles, the rhythmic click of the needles a calming counterpoint to the airport's chaos. She would be home. She felt as though a great burden had been lifted.
