Beatrice’s Time in the Spotlight

Beatrice was surprised when she heard her name called to the galley. She couldn’t understand why they would summon her now. Maybe it was finally an apology for the way she had been treated? As she moved forward, her confusion turned to shock when she saw her eldest daughter, Rose, stepping onto the plane.

Her mind raced with questions—what was Rose doing here, and was this even allowed? Her daughter, looking determined, had clearly come to find out exactly what had happened. Beatrice glanced around and noticed the flight attendants avoiding her gaze, staring at the floor in shame. It felt like, at last, the truth was beginning to unfold.
