100 Themes Challenge - 8/100: Relaxation:

~~~

Relaxation isn’t a luxury that the Advisor normally gets. Most evenings are spent in a flurry of paperwork, meetings, and  planning. There’s never nothing to do.

 But tonight is the Eve of the New Year in her old country.

So she follows her own tradition tonight, taking a few notebooks up and climbing up to the observation dome in the library. She sits under the window, where she can rest her cheek on the window sill and stare up at the stars in the sky. 

It makes her feel so lonely, but it also connects her to her own past, to every woman and girl she’s been across the span of decades. And she falls asleep easily, for one night unburdened and at peace.
