Together with the twinkling stars above, the artificial illumination of the city’s skyscrapers bathed the night sky in a dazzling light show. Sandra always thought the city lights outshone the stars - their glow was so bright and strong. It’s why she loved the city more than her small, quiet hometown in the middle of nowhere.

With one hand gripping the handle of her single trolley bag, she looked out the floor-to-ceiling glass pane at the set of blinking lights illuminating the runway below. Her gaze followed a plane speed down the long runway and take off. Within seconds, it was lost in the sky, just another dot blanketing the dark canvas.

Sandra sighed. When she was a kid, she had dreamt of flying in a plane and going somewhere magical. She was only 16 when that dream came true... Or so she thought.

Now here she was, back at the same spot, watching her high-flying career come to a heart-wrenching stop.

No. She shook her head. She must not think that way. This was just a small downturn, another obstacle to overcome like the rest. Everything would be back to normal - she just had to lie low for the next few months.

Everything would be normal.
