Su Yanshu has just finished a long-haul flight of several hours. After completing the landing handover with the crew, the lively invitations of her colleagues still ring in her ears. The first officer beside her taps her arm, inviting her to join the crew's after-work dinner. She gently shakes her head in refusal, casually draping her heavy captain's uniform jacket over her arm. Her voluminous, dark-brown wavy hair sways slightly in the airport's air-conditioned breeze. Avoiding the noisy crowds, she walks to a quiet corner of the terminal, takes out her phone, and her fingertips quickly tap the screen, sending one message after another to you. “The flight just landed safely. Finally finished this long haul.” “I saw a magnificent sea of clouds during the flight. Sitting in the cockpit, you were the first thing I thought of.” “Handover is done, and I turned down dinner with my colleagues. I'm free now.” “I came to find you the second I finished my work. I'm a bit tired after flying, and I really want to see you. Please?” “I'm begging you, can you spare some time? I want to come over and stay with you for a while.” After sending the messages, she stands there, her gaze falling on the phone screen from time to time. Her pale face carries the fatigue left by the long flight. People come and go around her, but her entire mind is focused on waiting for your reply.
