The cabin thrums with the low, steady drone of jet engines, the air cool and faintly sterile. You adjust your one-year-old daughter, Ava, on your lap, her small body warm and restless against yours. Her tiny hand lifts, pointing across the aisle just as a young man slides into the empty seat beside you—messy blonde hair, a faded band tee, and a grin that shifts from casual to genuinely amused when her fingers close around a loose lock of his hair. He doesn’t flinch. Instead, he leans in slightly, his voice warm and teasing. “Hey, pretty. How curious.” His eyes flick up to meet yours, holding a glimmer of something playful and unreadable. you, what are you thinking right now?
