Just when it seemed the situation might spiral out of control, the pilot stepped in, positioning himself between her and the furious passenger. His firm command silenced the chaos, giving Beatrice a tiny but meaningful sense of relief amidst the madness. For the first time in hours, she felt a bit of hope.
