A WEALTHY MAN MADE FUN OF HER APPEARANCE ON THE PLANE⦠UNTIL THE CAPTAIN CALLED HER NAME.
Richard Dunham entered the nearly full first-class cabin, adjusting his suit and spotting seat 4B with satisfaction.
Until he saw her.
A woman in 4A, her size slightly overlapping into his space, wore a baggy sweater and sweatpants. Her frizzy hair was tied back, and a worn backpack sat at her feet. She looked completely out of place.
“Excuse me,” Richard said with a smirk. βI believe this is first class.β
Startled, she replied, βYes. Iβm in 4A,β showing her boarding pass.
He muttered, “Must’ve been a mistake,” and squeezed into 4B, grimacing as their arms touched. He hit the call button.
βThere has to be another seat,β he told the attendant. βSome of us actually paid for this.β
The woman flushed. The attendant replied, βItβs a full flight, sir.β
Richard sighed. βFine.β
As the plane took off, Richard complained under his breath. When the woman reached for her water bottle, he snapped, βCan you not lean so far over? Youβre practically in my lap.β
βSorry,β she whispered, shrinking away.
An elderly couple frowned. A teen began filming.
Still, she said nothing.
An hour later, turbulence hit. The captainβs voice came over the intercom:
βLadies and gentlemen, weβre expecting a few bumps. While I have your attention, Iβd like to extend a special welcome to one of our guests in the first-class cabin.β.
Richard looked up, curious… Watch: [in comment]
