Chapter 6 - The Dramatic Version

The economy cabin.
The boy kicking Naomi’s seatback.
Naomi jolting forward.

Claire unbuckling.
Standing over her.

The finger inches from Naomi’s face.
The sharp slap.
Naomi’s head turning.
Marcus stepping in.

Ruth rising with her phone.

The metallic latch turning at the aircraft door.
Claire’s rage collapsing because she realized the plane was still at the gate and the story had already left her control.
