Finally sitting in the plane, I took out my favorite book. It was a mafia romance book. Some people find it weird that I read those, but mafia books are actually my favorite. After a while I noticed from the corner of my eye a silhouette, definitely a man, sitting right next to me. Soon I could feel his gaze on me and my book.
