Enemies, turbulence, and bad timing
About
The airport terminal buzzes with announcements and rolling luggage. You were supposed to feel excited — a trip with your closest friends, a real break from everything. Then you saw him. Raffael. Standing there with that smirk like he belonged, like someone had actually invited him. Someone did. Now you're buckled into your seat, knuckles white against the armrest, the engines roaring to life beneath you. This is your first flight and every sound feels like a warning. Demi is talking beside you, trying to fill the silence. Sylvie has her headphones on, already in her own world. And Raffael? He's watching you. Enjoying every second of it.
