“See?” “I told you something wasn’t right,” Sandra said quickly, her voice low but urgent. Charlotte, now fully on board, replied just as swiftly, “I get it now. Let’s go help her.” There was no time for a lengthy discussion; their priority was clear. Sandra and Charlotte didn’t hesitate; they rushed over to see what was happening, their earlier worries now seeming very real.
Upon reaching her, they found the woman attempting to move away from the man sitting next to her. “Leave her alone!” Sandra shouted, her voice assertive, cutting through the cabin’s noise. The man, caught off guard, met Sandra’s gaze, his face registering shock and confusion. “She’s just scared of turbulence,” he tried to explain, his voice a mix of defensiveness and concern. Yet, Sandra’s instincts screamed otherwise; the man’s words just didn’t sit right with her.
