Waiting in line to check in, I couldn’t help but remember that it was in a queue very much like this one that I’d first met Devon. It seemed as though all the important points in our relationship had centered around airports, and it was as though we’d come full circle now, ending things just the way they’d begun, on the red eye.

“Welcome and how are you today?”

I looked at the check-in assistant and wished that she wasn’t quite so chipper. The broad smile on her face had the opposite effect to what was intended, making me want to yell, scream, anything to make her as miserable as I was.

“I’m doing okay thank you for asking.”

“Ofcourse, it doesn’t hurt to be courteous.” She smiled. “Here you go and have a nice flight!”

She passed me back my ID and I made my way through to the business lounge, free of the bags that carried my worldly possessions.

I headed straight for the bar and ordered myself a large vodka and tonic. I was going to drink myself into oblivion. It might not erase the pain of losing Devon, but I could at least forget it for a little while.

“You look like a woman on a mission to drink the airport dry.”

I looked up to see a smarmy businessman grinning at me.

“Why don’t you let me buy your next drink?”

“I’m fine, thanks.” I turned my back, hoping that he’d get the hint, but of course I wasn’t going to be so lucky.

“I’m Matt.” He took a seat next to me, holding out his hand for me to shake. I looked at him coldly, but he was undeterred, and eventually I took it, if only to get him to stop smiling at me. “So where are you off to?”

“Boston.” I closed my eyes and took a large gulp of my drink. Just saying the name of the place sent shivers down my spine. It wasn’t that I didn’t like the city, but I knew that Devon rarely went there. It might as well be Outer Mongolia.

“Me too! Maybe you could let me show you the sights while you’re there?”

I looked at him, unable to keep the contempt from my face.

“Listen, Matt.” I spat his name as if it were an insult. “If I needed a tour guide, I’d arrange my own and not some jumped up, overweight, middle-aged man in a suit who thinks he can strike it lucky just because we happen to be stuck on the same plane for a while.”

At last, the smile faded from Matt’s face. “Well, sweetheart, excuse me for trying to be friendly. If that’s your attitude, I don’t think you’re going to last five minutes in my town. You see, down in Boston, we value this little thing called manners, something you don’t appear to have heard of. But if you think that you’re too good for the rest of the world, well, good luck to you. Seriously. Good luck.”

He raised his glass at me, swiveled in his chair, and stalked off.
