------kieran had been traveling for not even four hours and she already regretted her decision. she'd never traveled far from her home state, despite longing to do so for as long as she could remember. this was completely out of character for kieran, who had been raised up in a family in which she was simply expected to fit into the mold of her older siblings -- all were prominent in the political atmosphere of her home town -- which she had never wanted.
------as soon as she had entered the airport, she immediately went to find some coffee. quite successful, she sat down in a seat in the emptiest row of seats she could find. she was not in the mood to socialize at the moment, especially not after driving for four hours. she didn't look the friendliest, either. she was only wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt, and her hair had been pulled back into a low ponytail. not extremely tired, she more so just wanted to go back to her apartment and watch tv or stare at an empty document for hours.
------she knew that her reasoning for attending the trip was stupid. she needed a muse, something to inspire her, perhaps even someone. despite her constant let-downs, her nonexistent romantic life, romance was something never promised growing up -- marriage was for money, for family names, for anything but what kieran had always craved. luckily, her phone buzzing snapped her out of her trance, and she flipped it over to check the message. oh. a group chat for the trip. delightful. she simply unlocked her phone, ignored said messages, put on another podcast and leaned back in her seat, enjoying her coffee.
