Elias and Maddison were having a multi-course meal. They started off with an appetizer, wild mushroom soup with black truffle flakes.
Having one of her favorite foods on the flight helped put her at ease. But she can't help but feel like she ruined things.
"What's wrong?" Elias asked when he noticed the look on her face.
"It's…, I'm sorry," Maddison apologized.
"What are you apologizing for?"
"I feel like I ruined things. You had this whole set up planned for me. We should be having a romantic dinner seated across from each other…"
She didn't want to continue speaking. The more she thought about it, the more upset she was.
"I don't see it that way," Elias explained," Because of what happened, I got to sit right next to you."
He leaned into her a little more and whispered in her ear, "To be closer to you."
