Traded For His First Love

The passenger beside me, a heavyset man in a stained t-shirt, reeked of Cheetos and was already snoring before takeoff.
His head lolled, greasy hair brushing my shoulder, his snores loud as a chainsaw, but I didn’t care. None of it mattered. Every rumble of the plane, every mile traveled, brought me closer to London, to Sammy, to Avie.
