"What do you mean there's no available seat in any flight living tonight? Lea was speaking with the travel agent.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am! But we are fully booked right now. An award is going on in Korea, and we're overbooked as we speak." The travel agent said apologetically to Lea.
"Forget it then!" She hung up and went to the now much calmer Ann waiting for her news.
"Sorry! Best friend, no go! It seems that no flight is available, how about I check for tomorrow?" Lea was coaxing Ann to cheer her up.
"It's alright! I'm too tired, anyway. I was just upset earlier. I will play it by ear, ok!" Ann told Lea. Tiredness was visible in Ann's beautiful face.
"Why don't you go home first, I need to stop by the Hospital on the way home to report. Have some dinner ready, and we will have a quiet night at home. How's that!" Ann was trying to sound cheerful, but sadness was still lurking in her voice.
