Most people hate the airport. I get that. Everyone is in a hurry, hauling
around luggage, some afraid to fly, some annoyed by the heinous TSA lines.
And yet, for me, there’s an air of excitement to an airport. At least as a
traveler. Because either you’re going somewhere or you’ve arrived. For that
alone, I love the airport. But my absolute favorite spot? The arrivals gate.
I love those gates. Love watching the people who wait with an almost
nervous anticipation for their loved ones to arrive. Love seeing faces light
up, people cry out with joy and laughter or even tears when they spot that
special person. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends, lovers… An
endless stream of reunions.
In the years after my parents got divorced, I used to go to the airport and
simply sit on one of the cracked pleather chairs and soak it all in. Here, at
least, I would see the good side of love.
I’m here again, at the arrivals gate. Only this time, I’m the one arriving.
And there’s no one here to greet me. No sister. No dad.
After being in a plane for nearly eight hours, my eyes are gritty, my
knees ache from being crammed into a too-small space, and I probably
stink. It’s hard to tell; my fellow travelers kind of stink too, making us one
big moving, bleary-eyed unit of airplane funk. Or we were. Now people are
picked off one by one as open arms embrace them. I scan the crowd for a
familiar face, trying hard not to be disappointed when I don’t see one.
Too soon it becomes obvious that I’ve been forgotten. The crowd thins,
and what remains are the people waiting for the next wave of passengers to
be cleared through customs.
Clutching the handles of my massive rolling suitcases, I lumber over to
an empty seat and make myself comfortable. My phone is out of juice and
is a useless black screen.
“Fuck,” I mumble, blinking hard before running a hand over my face. I
want to speculate why my dad or sister isn’t here, but if I do, I might cry.
And I’m not crying here.
I shouldn’t be surprised. Being Sean Mackenzie’s daughter means
waiting until clients are appeased, crises are averted, and deals are
hammered out in ironclad contracts. Given that my dad is one of the top
sports agents in the country, there’s almost never an empty moment left for
me. But you’d think the infamous Big Mac, as the sports world dubbed him,
would remember to pick me up. Or, at the very least, ask my sister, Fiona,
to get me.
They’re just late. They were tied up in traffic. You’ve been gone for a
year. They wouldn’t miss your homecoming.
In a minute, I’ll get up and search for an outlet to charge the phone and
then call Dad. Right now, I don’t want to move. I’ve sat for hours, and I’m
suddenly too weak to do anything but slump in a chair.
