"Champagne, darling?" The flight attendant's offer was met with a sparkling laugh. Amelia had purchased a bottle of bubbly to celebrate the start of her trip.

The airport was a blur of activity, but she felt detached, floating above the chaos.

The captain’s voice crackled on the intercom. The plane was experiencing a delay. She slumped down in her seat, suddenly seeing the time and calculating the distance. The party… she was going to miss the party.
