I was sitting on the plane alone in my thoughts. I tried to watch a movie but I was not even paying attention and forgot what I had even turned on. Bex's words stung and I had started to feel bad for leaving. Don't you believe that I can be there for you and protect you, Sabrina? I don't see why you are so worried. This could just be a random killer, this is New York City after all. Are you sure about that? Bex's words echoed in my mind as if she were punishing me because I deserved it.

"Are you alright?" The elder woman who sat next to me asked and I winced. Her warm blue eyes met mine and she gave me a warm smile. She looked like she was in her sixties. She had short, curly gray hair.

"Yeah," I lied and slowly nodded. "I'm fine." I lied again and sighed in defeat hoping she would not see right through me. Please buy this. Please be okay with my answer. Please let this go. I thought to myself.

"You just look deep in thought... I thought I should ask." The woman responded.

"Thank you." I responded and smiled at her.

"What's your name?"

"I am Sabrina Hart, what about you? What is your name?" I asked and smiled more.

"My name is Martha Bailey." Martha answered.

"It's nice to meet you, Martha." I responded offering my hand.

"It is nice to meet you too, Sabrina." Martha replied and shook my hand.

"Who are you visiting?" I asked.

"I'm moving away from New York, it is too noisy for me." Martha chuckled.

"Yeah," I giggled nodding. "It can be."

"So... you are you visiting or is it something else?" Martha asked.

"I am visiting my family for a few days." I answered. "I just need to get out of New York City for a little while."
