Jacob was grappling with a profound sense of loss, his reluctance evident in his demeanor. Despite his hesitation, there was no alternative. The person he was searching for had already departed, leaving him without a chance to track them down. In his despair, he resigned himself to enduring this setback and followed Charlie and Claire to the airport.
Elaine, too, appeared disheartened, muttering under her breath, “This is unbelievable. I have never experienced such a setback. Back in the day, I would have opened my window and lashed out at the entire neighborhood, and I wouldn't have lost face. Yet today, I’ve been wronged by this fool. It’s infuriating!"
Claire, aware of her mother's temperament, tried to soothe her. “Mom, it's just a minor issue. Try not to dwell on it too much. Remember, we’re supposed to be enjoying ourselves on this trip.”
Elaine grumbled, “I overheard that dog couple saying they’re heading to the Maldives too. They can’t be on the same flight as us, can they?”
Charlie replied casually, “There isn’t a daily direct flight from Aurous Hill to the Maldives. It’s peak season for tropical destinations, so there’s only one flight available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. After the New Year, international travel declines, and those flights will be suspended.”
