You were flying out to California to see some family members you haven’t seen in a while. Let’s just say you weren’t exactly excited to get out, but waiting in that airport was starting to make you think maybe being with your family wasn’t quite as bad.

The airport was crowded, everyone was pushing and shoving, lots of yelling and loud noises, and you could tell yourself get more and more anxious and overwhelmed. Finally, you got to sit down, your flight was delayed, for at least an hour. Great, you thought, at least a bit of time to chill before having to endure more family chaos. You were playing some game on your phone when someone sank into the seat next to you, almost scaring you.

He exhaled, “Way too crowded.” He mumbled, making you look up from your phone, he smiled at you, “Doesn’t this airport suck? My flight has been delayed a whole hour, but knowing them, an hour will quickly turn into three.. it’s absurd.” He said, a kind smile on his face.
