"Delayed," the electronic board declared in crimson letters. Amelia's shoulders visibly relaxed. The prospect of her best friend's engagement party had been weighing her down. She hadn't wanted to go, and now...a reprieve.

Her eyes lit up. She could explore this new city. She'd been planning on staying in the hotel room, but now, a world of possibilities opened up.

She texted her friend, feigning disappointment. Inside, a little dance of joy was taking place. Freedom. That's what she felt now.

Her pace quickened as she headed toward the exit, ready for adventure.
