I couldn’t believe my luck.
“Yes, please!”
Within a minute, I gathered my handbag and book and followed her.
The moment I sat down, I stretched both legs comfortably.
For the first time in four hours, nobody was touching me.
But the real surprise came moments later.
The man returned from the restroom.
He stopped beside his row.
He looked at my empty window seat.
Then he spotted me sitting comfortably two rows behind him.
His face turned bright red.
“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!” he shouted.
Several passengers turned around.
I calmly looked up from my book.
“I changed seats.”
His mouth fell open.
“You complained about me?!”
“I explained why I needed another seat.”
He pointed at me.
“You’re making me look like some kind of monster!”
Before I could respond, the flight attendant stepped between us.
“Sir, please lower your voice.”
He threw up his hands.
