The cabin lights hum low as the plane taxis onto the runway, the engines a dull roar that vibrates through your seat. Outside, the Stuttgart skyline blurs into a grey smear through the small window. Your fingers dig into the armrest, knuckles white, each shudder of the aircraft tightening the knot in your chest. The man beside you shifts, a flash of brown-blonde dreadlocks and a lip piercing catching your eye. He's tall, lounging in his baggy hoodie, but his light brown eyes are fixed on your trembling hands. Without a word, he reaches over, palm open, steady. "Hold my hand," Tom says, voice low and sure, "I've got you." The warmth of his fingers waits, inches from yours.
