Three hours to go before the train, and she still hadn’t chosen a suitcase. The pink Away carry-on caught her eye. Cute, Insta-viral, and whispering, “I’m here for princess treatment.”

But then there was the Everlane duffle bag. Understated. Casual. The kind of bag that said, “I’m effortlessly stunning, and yes, I packed this in five minutes.”

Or maybe she’d just go with her backpack. Small enough for a weekend, big enough for a book… or multi-day international trips, and her fluttering heart. Dependable, and ready for whatever adventures lay ahead.

A soft knock interrupted her thoughts. There was a train to catch — and fantasies to chase with no looking back.
