A romantic date (Part one)
Wednesday, April 13. Dublin-Los Angeles flight, 5:14 p.m. "Would you like some more champagne ma'am?" asked the smiling stewardess. "No. Your champagne is of poor quality for first-class travel," replied the long-haired black woman hastily, who continued to stare out the porthole of the Airbus A330. In over ten hours of flying, she had not spoken to anyone or even given the cabin crew a glance. She had managed to sleep for five hours straight: in the other hours, her mind had analytically analyzed everything that had happened in the past 15 days. The death of her mentor, and the new clients to meet in California. The last few weeks had been tiring, too much so. She got up to go to the bathroom to freshen up and redo her makeup: it was only an hour before landing at Los Angeles International Airport. Despite the jet lag, she felt in good shape. Above all, she felt excited about her new job contract: her new clients had been impressed by her professionalism and her many successes.
