His One Night Stand
The nerves intensify as the plane begins its descent.
A slight turbulence jolts the aircraft, and my grip tightens once more. My anxiety flares again, and I can feel cold sweat rolling down my back. Gnawing at my lower lip, I try to focus my attention on something else as the plane gently descends towards the tarmac. Though it is slightly bumpy, the wheels touch the runway with a reassuring thud, and relief washes over me. I exhale, my shoulders sagging as the plane taxis towards the terminal.
