A CHANGE IN PLANS

I’d managed to gather the courage to get on the plane but now that we were in the air, I didn’t feel so good. A flight attended approached slowly and said with an empathetic tone, “Sir, are you alright?”

“Mm-hmm!” I nodded rapidly.

She continued, “Because you look a little pale. Are you going to be sick?”

I shook my head no as she continued, “Well if you need anything we’re here to help.”

I blurted out, “When’s this thing going to land?”

She smiled warmly, “We should be landing in Florida within the next hour.”

I took a sigh of relief, “Just how high is this thing off the ground?”

She covered her lips, “Sir, is this your first time on a plane?”

I scowled, “Why? Does it look like this is my first time on a plane? I’m forty years old, of course, this isn’t my first time on a plane.”

She shook her head, “If you say so.”

With a reassuring pat to my shoulder, she said, “If you need anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask.”

I nodded silently and closed my eyes tightly. A few moments later a sweet voice broke my train of thought, “Sir?”

I turned to see a big blue-eyed twink with fluffy blonde hair sitting next to me. He smiled, “I used to be afraid of flying too.”

“Is that so,” I growled.

He continued, “Once you’ve done it a couple of times it gets a lot easier.” He shoved out his hand, "I'm Evan, by the way, Evan Starr."

I tried to be as nice as possible as I said, “Kid, I really appreciate that, but right now, I’d like to just go back to closing my eyes until this thing is back on the ground.”

“Suit yourself, but I have candy crush on my phone if you need to take your mind off things.”

I turned back to face him, “What on earth is Candy Crush?”

He pulled out his phone and showed me the colorful display, “It’s a game where you line up the different colored candies to level up.”

I squinted at him, “How old are you anyway?”

He blushed and bit his bottom lip, “Nineteen.”

I smiled, “My Leo’s not much older than you. He’s twenty-two.”

He smiled, “Are you on the way to see him?”

I nodded, “We’re reuniting after a big argument.”

He shifted in his seat, “What was it about if you don’t mind telling me?”

I sighed and stared straight ahead as I replied, “Well, our six-month anniversary is coming up and I wanted to do something to surprise him. So, I decided to take ballroom dancing lessons.”

Evan grinned, “That is so sweet!”

I turned to him, “I thought so too, but when he found the dance instructor’s business card in my pocket he thought I was cheating. You see, the guy has a reputation back in town for being a little loose with guys.”

He arched his brow, “Oh, and I’m guessing your guy is all too aware of this?”

I nodded, “Exactly.”

Evan nudged me, “Well, go on. What happened next?”

I took a deep breath, “Anyways, things were said and I told him that maybe we should take a break.
