She gave him a polite smile and took her headphones out from her pockets. Placing them in her head,
she leaned back and closed her eyes to rest.
The soft hum of music droned in her ears. Indistinctly, she heard the muffled voice of the airline

Rosalynn smiled at him, and then glanced at Brian. She was shocked at his expression. He looked
pissed, as if he was ready to jump straight into a fight.
Did she do something?
No, that couldn’t be.
Deciding it was better to ignore him, Rosalynn stood up to take her belongings.
The man who sat beside her offered to help carry her luggage, but Rosalynn refused and walked out of
the plane.
“May | have your phone number?”
She had underestimated his persistence. The man stopped her, refusing to give up.

sounded near her ears.

“Is he your boyfriend?”
Brian wasn’t Rosalynn’s boyfriend. He was her ex-husband!

At the moment, it was better to keep her mouth shut and not correct the misunderstanding.
“I see. I’m sorry, | didn’t know.”
