“Yes, sir. These seats are assigned to Mrs. Clara Whitmore and her children.”
Harrison scoffed, his gaze flicking dismissively over the woman.
“I paid a premium to be here because I need peace. I have an extremely important meeting during this flight. Children don’t belong here.”
“I understand your concern,” the stewardess replied evenly, “but Mrs.
Whitmore purchased these seats just like everyone else. I’ll ask that you cooperate.”
Before Harrison could retort, the woman spoke softly. “It’s all right,” she said, her voice calm but tired.
“If someone is willing to switch seats with us, we don’t mind moving.”
The stewardess shook her head immediately. “No, ma’am. You’re entitled to these seats.
Please don’t feel pressured.”
Harrison leaned back, jaw tight, clearly displeased. He slid his earbuds back in with exaggerated force, turning his face toward the window as Clara helped her children into their seats. She checked each seatbelt carefully, whispering reminders and brushing hair from foreheads with gentle fingers.
