Getting on a train, Kailey sighs with relief on reaching her reserved seat. After checking her phone, no messages, she spends several minutes settling into her seat, plugging in her laptop and arranging her limited space to fit her drink and snack.
Still no messages.
By the time she looks up again, the landscape is moving passed and she feels a wave of sadness at leaving, but the feeling quickly breaks up against the rocks of resolution that she’s been cultivating.
Leaving was the right decision, but it doesn’t stop her tapping her phone every few minutes.
Still no messages.
