Hazel arrived at the airport two hours before her departure time out of paranoia but ended up breezing through security and sitting around waiting at the gate forever. Will hadn't finished the book yet so she ended up borrowing a copy of it from the library in town before she left.
She absentmindedly munched on the pretzels she had packed as she read in the uncomfortable plastic chair until it was time to board. Then she pulled it right back out again once she was in her seat.
Flying first class for so long had spoiled her. Sitting in economy now was horribly cramped and she felt a tiny bit claustrophobic since she was in a window seat. At least she could stare out the window as everything below grew tiny during takeoff. That was probably her favorite part about flying.
