James is at his limit. When the plane finally lands, she jumps up before the seatbelt sign turns off and rushes to the front. But the captain’s voice comes on:“We have a special guest onboard today…” He walks down the,
aisle and stops—right at James’s row. “Here she is in seat 42C! Let’s give her a round of applause.” The entire plane claps and laughs as the woman turns red with embarrassment. It’s the perfect ending to an otherwise exhausting flight. James and the window-seat woman share a laugh, both grateful it’s finally over—and hoping never to fly with a “Karen” again.
