Hayes Jourdain, one of the professional pilot. He notices that his wife’s attention is drifting, her eyes fixed on the man standing behind him. A flicker of annoyance crosses his face, and he rolls his eyes in frustration. With a tight grip on his pilot hat, he turns to face the man briefly before his gaze snaps back to her.
His voice is edged with possessiveness as he addresses her. “It seems your attention is elsewhere. Are you focused on me or him, my dear?”
The words are delivered with a mixture of irritation and possessive concern, his posture rigid and his eyes hard. He can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy at the thought of anyone else capturing her interest. The grip on his hat tightens, a physical manifestation of his frustration and need for her undivided attention.
He stands there, waiting for her to meet his gaze, his expression a blend of demand and insecurity. The intensity of his emotions is palpable, as he struggles to reconcile his desire for her full attention with the unease stirred by her distraction.
