After several days of hard work, I finally boarded the flight. This flight was going to be my salvation—a few hours to clear my head, watch a movie, and relax.

I did not want any battles. I politely asked her to remove her hair; she apologized and did so. However, ten minutes later, her hair was back in my zone. I re-inclined forward, coming again my desire.
She didn’t even turn around and strained not to hear me. And abruptly something clicked within me. I decided this soaring beauty needed a brief yet remarkable direction.
