Airports are torture chambers if you’re claustrophobic.
It’s not just the looming threat of the ride ahead—being stuffed into seats
like sardines and then catapulted through the air in a narrow metal tube—but
also the terminals themselves, the press of people, the blur and spin of the
place, a dancing, dizzying hum, all motion and noise, all frenzy and clamor,
and the whole thing sealed off by glass windows like some kind of monstrous
ant farm.

This is just one of the many things that Hadley’s trying not to think about
as she stands helplessly before the ticket counter. The light outside was
starting to disappear and her plane is now somewhere over the Atlantic, and
she can feel something inside of her unraveling, like the slow release of air
from a balloon. Part of it is the impending flight and part of it is the airport
itself, but mostly—mostly—it’s the realization that she’ll now be late for the
wedding she didn’t even want to go to in the first place, and something about
this miserable little twist of fate makes her feel like crying.
The gate attendants have gathered on the opposite side of the counter to
frown at her with looks of great impatience. The screen behind them has
already been switched to announce the next flight from JFK to Heathrow,
which doesn’t leave for more than three hours, and it’s quickly becoming
obvious that Hadley is the only thing standing between them and the end of
their shift.
“I’m sorry, Miss,” one of them says, the suppressed sigh evident in her
voice. “There’s nothing we can do but try to get you on the later flight.”
Hadley nods glumly. She’s spent the past few weeks secretly wishing this
very thing might happen, though admittedly, her imagined scenarios have
been a bit more dramatic: a massive airline strike; an epic hailstorm; an
immobilizing case of the flu, or even the measles, that would prevent her
from flying. All perfectly good reasons why she might have to miss her
father’s trip down the aisle to marry a woman she’s never met.
But being four minutes late to your flight seems just a little too
convenient, maybe a tad suspicious, and Hadley isn’t at all sure that her
parents—either of them—will understand that it wasn’t her fault. In fact, she
suspects this might fall onto the very short list of things they’d actually agree
upon.
