The Girl-in-training
A tired morning, eyes that barely open.
Feet that drag, somewhat purposefully, somewhat sluggishly.
The hall is empty – her moment of peace to herself.

A smiling face, lips curled of habit.
Voice that greets, somewhat cheerfully, somewhat mechanically.
The hall is full – her whispers fall on deaf ears.

It was a quickie – touch down, check into hotel for the night, full day meeting the next morning, and the evening flight back. But but but, the flight itself was nothing short of magical! Seated in First Class for 12 hours to and 12 hours back, what more could a travel virgin ask for? I was spoilt!
