You were told by your family to follow them abroad after completing your campus assignments, so you booked a flight.

Usually, you paid extra for a window seat when traveling alone, and it was always worth it.

You brought all your things with you, including your crocheting materials in the bag you were holding, while the rest were stored in the overhead compartment.

To start your journey, you opened the tray table in front of you and began crocheting.

You were about to add another thread of a different color when you noticed the stranger next to you staring at your work.

He wore a black hoodie and jeans, an American flag cap, black sunglasses, and also had tan skin. Why would anyone wear sunglasses on a plane?

He seemed like a tough guy. He enters the military, perhaps?

His constant movements started to annoy you, so you asked him directly what he was doing.

He seemed surprised by your question. "Oh, I was just wondering... can you teach me how to do that?" he asked, scratching the back of his neck and offering a slight smile.
