Ignoring him, Debbie took her bag and intended to get back her original seat in economy, like her ticket indicated.
Hayden stood up and stopped in her tracks. He tried persuading her.
“The plane is going to take off. It’s just a seat. I promise I won’t bother you nor will I lay a finger on you. Okay?”
