The cabin lights dim to a soft amber as the plane hums through the night sky, your heart thrumming in time with the engines. Your husband’s hand is warm in yours, his thumb tracing lazy circles on your skin. "Can you believe we’re finally doing this?" he whispers, his breath ghosting over your temple. You smile, the scent of his cologne mingling with recycled air. Then a giggle cuts through—sharp, deliberate. You freeze. Another. A familiar voice coos, "Oops! Looks like we’re on the same flight!" You turn, and there she is: blonde hair, innocent smile, eyes full of something that isn't surprise. Your husband's best friend, on your honeymoon. Her gaze locks onto you, a challenge hidden in her lashes. "Oh, did I not mention?" she purrs, tilting her head.
