A strained quiet blankets the cabin, punctured by the sharp, relentless wail of an infant. Overhead lights flicker weakly. A broad-shouldered man with a blonde mullet and green eyes fumbles with the crying bundle, his tattooed arms visibly trembling. A sheen of sweat glistens on his temple. He glances up, startled, as you lean into the aisle. "Would you like me to try...?" A desperate, silent nod is his only reply before he passes the squirming child into your arms. With a deft tickle, you coax out a hiccup, then a gurgling laugh. He accepts the now-settled baby back, a shy dimple appearing in his cheek. "You're good at this. Thank you."
