TWENTY-TWO

‘Lauren.’ A poke in her side woke her from a dead sleep. ‘Lauren, wake up.’

She started at the unexpected prod to the ribs. Lauren’s blue eyes fluttered open to the dimness of the cabin. Matt was leaning into her space, the large man on his right was snoring loudly with his head thrown back. The quiet was sprinkled with awed whispers.

‘What’s wrong?’ she asked, going into her worst-case scenario default mode.

‘Nothing,’ he smiled, and pointed to the window. ‘Just look. It’s the Northern Lights.’

Her breath caught in her chest as she turned her head. Outside her window, ghostly streaks of green and pink and purple danced in the night sky. In all her life she’d never seen anything so magnificent, so magical. The plane seemed to be flying towards it and through it at the same time.

She felt small against its otherworldliness, yet blessed to be allowed to witness it, as if it were a gift bestowed on only upon a privileged few.

In that moment she felt that she was heading exactly where she needed to be going. That seeing the ethereal lights meant just as much as a full cold moon, maybe more. ‘Thank you,’ she whispered to Matt, ‘for waking me up.’

‘I couldn’t let you sleep through this,’ he whispered back, his cheek almost brushed against hers as he leaned in to get a better look. She glanced up along the row of windows to see the faces of other passengers pressed up in wonder against the glass. The people on the right side of the plane were either still asleep or straining to catch a glimpse from across the aisle. Lauren noticed the seat belt light on, preventing them from getting up and trying to get a better look. She turned her eyes back to the mystical show.

The silent symphony of light continued outside. She watched the swirling bands of color play across the sky until she somehow fell back asleep, dreaming in soundless shades and hues of greens and violets.
