Cromwell's Echo

The last suitcase plopped onto the belt at 5:05 pm, local time.

Cathryn watched it approach on the baggage claim carousel, a forlorn little package, shabby and misshapen, the affixed airline label quivering slightly from the rumble of the belt.

It wasn’t hers.

She tried to quell the jab of disappointment that tugged at her spirits. Welcome to Jolly Old England.

The jostling crowd had dissipated after plucking their own, present-and-accounted-for luggage from the slow-moving river of bags. Cathryn stood alone, grubby and sore after the long trans-Atlantic flight. Sighing, she rummaged through her heavy shoulder bag and found her cell phone. She gritted her teeth, agreed to the roaming charges, and sent a text:

Luggage lost. Have to make arrangements. Sorry for the delay.

The air swirled with the usual confusion of typical airport notifications, the polite British accent lending them cachet and bringing a smile to Cathryn’s lips. She straightened her spine. So what if the trip wasn’t off to a great start—she wouldn’t let that taint the rest of it. Even if it looked to be a sort of busman’s holiday.

Every holiday is, when you’re a novelist.

At the Lost Luggage counter, a tiny, efficient woman with henna-rinsed bouffant hair assured Cathryn her suitcase would be found and delivered. Hoisting the bag to her other shoulder, Cathryn exited the terminal and made her way along a tantalizing lane of goodies. The smell of roasting, sugared nuts and chicken satay kebabs sent her stomach into grumble overload. Fare on the flight had been meager, but she resisted temptation. Margot would have plans for an evening meal.

As she approached the end of the edibles, a current of chill air raised goosebumps under the light sweater she wore. Stopping to shrug into her down jacket, she spotted Margot and Ethan waiting for her. They waved energetically, faces lit with bright smiles, and Cathryn felt a surge of affection for her favorite niece, followed by a stab of concern. Why had they summoned her here so precipitously?
