husband’s company practically keeps this airline in business. He’ll be very interested to hear how you’re handling this.”
Jessica hurried toward the galley.
Darla leaned comfortably against Evan’s seat and looked up at him with fake sympathy.
“You really should learn your place.”
Nobody spoke.
A woman put on noise-canceling headphones.
A businessman suddenly became deeply interested in his laptop.
Others kept recording.
But Evan remained disturbingly calm.
Then the lead flight attendant arrived.
Her name was Marissa.
“What seems to be the issue?”
Darla answered immediately.
“This man is trying to steal my seat. He’s aggressive, and frankly, I don’t feel safe.”
Jessica hesitated.
“That’s not exactly—”
“Excuse me?” Darla snapped.
Jessica fell silent.
Evan simply handed Marissa his boarding pass.
“My seat is 2A.”
Marissa scanned it.
BEEP.
Her expression changed instantly.
She checked the screen again.
Then she looked at Darla.
“Mrs. Whitmore… your seat is 4C.”
