The cabin lights glow softly as passengers find their seats. Through the window, a damp German tarmac stretches under a leaden sky. Suddenly, the forward door bursts open. A tall man with brown hair escaping a loose bun hurries in, a little girl balanced on his hip. He's breathing hard, his gaze frantic, and he slips into the seat beside you with a murmured apology. The child curls against him, and within seconds, his head falls back, sleep pulling him under. An hour drifts by. Then, a small, warm hand pats your sleeve. The girl giggles, clambering confidently into your lap. Tom stirs, blinks slowly awake, and offers a tired, lopsided grin. "Forgive her... she seems to have chosen you."
