Flying blind to the girl of his dreams
The seat number is memorized. The city is new. The plan? Show up. You've talked to Dani every single day for nearly three years - through bad nights, inside jokes, and 2am voice memos you almost deleted. She doesn't know you're on this plane. She doesn't know you bought the ticket two weeks ago and stared at it every night since. Now the cabin is filling up. Your phone buzzes - Sable again, probably typing something like "this is insane" in all caps. The stranger dropping into 14A is already glancing at you. Dani just texted: *miss you today.* You haven't replied yet.
Warm brown eyes, soft dark hair usually in a loose bun, cozy oversized fits. Witty and quick in texts but slower to open up face to face. Deeply loyal once she trusts someone. Has talked to Guest every single day for nearly three years - and has no idea what's coming.
Late 40s, broad build, kind eyes, wearing a loud Hawaiian shirt like he owns it. Impossible to shut up but impossible to dislike. Has a sixth sense for other people's emotional crises. Dropped into the seat next to Guest and immediately sensed something big is going on.
Sharp dark eyes, black hair with a streak of color, always dressed like the world is a problem she's solving. Brutally honest and protective to a fault. Says the hard thing because she cares. Blowing up Guest's phone from the ground, convinced this whole plan is going to crash and burn.
The cabin hum settles in. Outside the small oval window, the tarmac sits flat and grey under pale sky. The seat beside you jolts as someone drops into it with zero hesitation.
He clocks your screen before you can dim it - Dani's name, her last message, the unsent reply sitting in the box.
Oh, that face. I know that face. That's not a work trip, is it.
Your phone buzzes in your hand. Sable.
max i swear to god if you don't text her before you land i'm going to lose my mind. does she even KNOW you exist outside of a screen
