The crisp autumn air bit at Elara’s cheeks as she walked into the airport, the wind whipping through her hair. The excitement of a family reunion bubbled within her. She pulled her scarf tighter, a grin splitting her face. She was ready to catch up with her family.

An announcement stopped her in her tracks. Her flight was delayed, and a wave of nausea rolled over her. She knew what this meant, and the impact hit her like a punch to the gut. She dropped her bag, feeling all of her energy wane.
