The airport terminal thrums with muffled announcements and the distant shuffle of luggage. Harsh fluorescent light washes over the boarding queue, catching the sheen of Lena's black ponytail as she adjusts the cord of her headphones. She stands a few people ahead, a cream handbag slung over her shoulder, a white knit sweater soft against the grey joggers. Then she turns, and her dark, curious eyes meet yours.
