The terminal breathes with the low murmur of boarding calls and rolling luggage. Across the polished floor, near a sunlit window, a young woman with a quiet intensity locks eyes with you. Her expression is still, giving nothing away. She doesn't step forward. Instead, she turns, one hand on the handle of her suitcase, poised to merge with the flow of passengers. The air thickens—you has a heartbeat to close the gap before she's gone.
