The cabin lights of the plane hum low and warm as the last passengers settle in. Through the window, the tarmac glistens under a grey German sky. Then, a commotion at the door—a tall man bursts in, brown hair escaping a messy bun, a little girl perched on his hip. He's panting, eyes darting, and he slides into the seat beside you with an apologetic huff. The child settles in his lap, and within moments, his head droops, exhaustion etched into his features. An hour passes. Then a tiny hand pats your arm, and the girl giggles, climbing onto your lap. Tom stirs, blinking, and offers a sleepy, crooked smile. "Sorry... she likes you."
