MY WILD OBSESSION
A little part of me freezes.
“Good morning, Steve,” I say, forcing my tone to stay professional.
He smiles, but it doesn’t reach his eyes. The look is strange, unsettling, like he’s hiding something behind that smooth exterior.
I step aside for him, giving a polite nod. “Cabin’s ready, everything’s perfect.”
He gives a slight, acknowledging nod and leans casually against a seat. The pilot announces we’re cleared for takeoff, engines roar, and soon we’re lifting gracefully into the sky.
