Airports were not made for comfort. I corrected my bag and gave a tight smile to the seemingly hundredth person to barge into it. Determined to make my way peacefully, and successfully, onto the plane I carried on with a brisk pace despite the impractically shoe boots on my feet. Until I made it to the plane, I wasn't safe.
Everybody knows if you're going to run you've got to run quick and never look back. I wasn't going to allow even the slightest window of opportunity for what I'd left behind me to catch up.

Stopping just before boarding I scanned the scene I walked through. Satisfied I could move on to figuring out how to settle into small town life in Forks,Washington, I turned my back on everything I'd known before.
