The Flight to Forever

Summary

My flight was going down. In those final moments of despair, the flight attendants announced that signal service had been restored.

I didn't call my boyfriend, Ethan.

Instead, I stared at the group chat. It was flooded with screenshots of Ethan begging Lily to change her flight.

Ethan, usually so cold and composed, sounded desperate in his texts.

[Lily, I can't lose you. Please change your ticket. Please?]

I watched their conversation tick past 999+ messages. I closed my eyes and dialed my best friend, Sarah.
