To the Lady on the Plane

Since I had the window seat, I could not figure out if you were looking out the window to try and calm yourself, or if you were looking at me. Nope, you were definitely staring at me. Well, just a few more minutes I thought. You kept losing the color in your face and we kept going further down into our descent.
