Early the next day morning, Katherine arrived at the airport.
The flight was going to take off so early that Katherine was yawning all the way to the airport.
As soon as she arrived at the airport, the announcement started broadcasting that her flight is ready for boarding.
Peter booked a business class for her, the seat next to her was empty when she boarded. Luggage put away, she made a few more yawns after seated.
Passenger started to get on one by one. It seemed that there’s not much of passengers on this flight, Katherine observed.
She paid the boarders only a few glances, and then shifted in her seat for a position that she could sleep comfortably in. Wearing a sleeping mask she drifted into deep sleep almost in a second.
When the passenger next to her came she did not know, nor care.
She woke at the sound of the wheels of the stewardess’ cart.
Katherine was nudged gently, she then heard the stewardess asking. “Sorry madam, would you like any beverages?”
Katherine removed her sleeping mask. “Coke with ice, please.
The man next to her passed her the drink.
She said her thanks automatically.
When she had taken a sip, the man spoke. “Just lift a finger.”
The voice was so familiar that Katherine paused for a moment. Slowly she turned around, then her expression froze.
Marshall stared at her for a few seconds before he turned his head away to look at Peter on the other side.
Peter shunned Marshall’s stare, covering his face with his hand. He had not dared to looked at Marshall for even a second ever since Marshall found out his seat was next to Katherine’s. Peter’s back facing Marshall and Katherine. He put his headphones on, trying to pretend that he knew nothing about this coincidence.
“Peter booked the ticket for me, I don’t know anything.” Katherine said.
Marshall gave her only a curt nod.
He was still as aloof as he had always been that Katherine had swallowed back down some questions she wanted to ask.
There’s no way she could fall asleep now, so she decided to watch some dramas on her laptop. She doesn’t like to follow dramas but just to relieve the boredom. However, as the drama plays, her eyes strayed away from the screen to Marshall.
