“Don’t leave me, Bash!”
I opened my eyes to the sound of the airline attendant shuffling her way down the aisle.
Oh crap, did I just scream that out loud?
My hands clutched at my rapidly beating heart, knocking my elbow into the stranger sitting next to me. The little girl scowled and looked up from her tablet.
“Ouch! What’s wrong with you?”
“Sorry. Just—Just a bad dream,” I told her still struggling to control my breathing. She huffed loudly and set her tablet in her lap before pulling out her earbuds.
“People are staring you know.”
That only fueled my anxiety. I leaned forward and rested my head on the seat in front of me.
Pull it together, Quinn. You can do this.
I took a deep slow breath as the flight attendant announced that we were about to land. Within a minute, I calmed down enough to buckle my seatbelt.
“You slept the entire trip by the way. We’re almost there.”
“No shit,” I mumbled. How did I get stuck sitting next to a chatterbox?
“Whatever.”
I sighed, I was always cranky when I awoke. “I’m sorry. That was uncalled for.” My apology was half-assed, but this girl couldn’t be any older than ten. What was she doing on a plane all by herself anyway?
