ALLY
“Are you a member of our Frequent Flyers Club?” The ground
stewardess labelled Ally’s suitcase and typed something into her
system.
“Yes. Sorry, I forgot.” Ally searched through her wallet. Like her life,
the bulging mass of leather overstuffed with receipts, crumpled bills, and
forgotten cards was a chaotic mess, and it took her a while to find her
membership card.
“Thank you. Just give me a moment.” The woman frowned as she
stared at her screen; Ally suspected her account had expired as she hadn’t
flown with the airline in years.
“Is everything okay?”
“Absolutely.” The woman looked up with a smile. “Would you like an
upgrade? Free of charge.”
“Seriously?” Ally’s dark brows shot up. She hadn’t flown business since
she’d resigned from her job three years ago, and she’d braced herself for a
long, uncomfortable flight that would likely leave her exhausted by the time
she arrived in Amsterdam. “Of course, I would love that.”
“Excellent.” The ground stewardess printed her boarding card. “Here
you go. Have a great flight, Miss Brenner. The lounge is a five-minute walk
from your gate. Enjoy.”
Ally had missed the Emerald lounge at Vancouver International Airport,
with its polished marble floors, the soft glow of recessed lighting, plush
armchairs, and leather sofas that looked out over the runway. The familiar
notes of oak and vanilla made her feel a little nostalgic as she secured a
table by the window and removed her trench coat. She used to come here
with her colleagues every other Monday, and although she didn’t miss her
old job, she did miss the perks of having a big travel budget.
Running a
small project management company with her friend now, Ally didn’t splash
out on expensive flights. Perhaps that would change if her upcoming pitch
was a success.
As she ordered a glass of chilled Chablis and helped herself to a few
salmon blinis and a small bowl of olives, she noted not much had changed.
She even recognized one of the bartenders, despite him having grown a
beard since the last time she had been there.
Heading back to her seat, a woman across the bar caught Ally’s eye. She
ordered a martini and took a careful sip before scanning the lounge. She had
short, blonde hair and big, blue eyes emphasized by eyeliner. She wore a
sharp-cut black suit, and a leather laptop sleeve was wedged under her arm.
Their eyes met, and the woman smiled. There was something familiar about
her, but Ally couldn’t recall ever meeting her. Curiously, she kept her gaze
fixed on the woman and failed to spot a passing waiter carrying a glass of
red wine. She bumped into him, causing the wine to tumble off his tray and
splash everywhere.
“Fuck,” she muttered and winced when she saw the big, red stain on her
white shirt. “I’m sorry, it was my fault. I was distracted.” She noted the
waiter’s shirt was covered in red stains, too. “I’m so sorry.”
