The Flight
Bruce sat down on his aisle seat and strapped in. He was flying out to Paris, for his much awaited date with Lorraine. He had met her a few years ago when he was vacationing in Ibiza. They got on well and after a few nights decided to take it further. Lorraine was French, rich and a corporate lawyer. Bruce was a dreamy, slightly rumpled but handsome young man. He worked in a bank. He pushed other people's money around. His life was really forgettable. Meeting Lorraine had made him feel that it was worth remembering after all. They were going steady for almost six years now.
