Trying to ignore it
In an effort to ease her growing discomfort, Cora decided to distract herself by picking up the glossy magazine conveniently placed in front of her seat. The vivid images and captivating articles momentarily succeeded in shifting her focus away from the peculiar behavior of the flight attendants. Engrossed in the world of words and images, she momentarily forgot about the whispered conversations and covert glances.
However, her brief escape was interrupted. As the business class cabin filled with fellow passengers, Cora was abruptly brought back to reality by a glaring and undeniable oversight. While the flight attendants moved through the cabin, offering a refreshing glass of water to each traveler, Cora was inexplicably overlooked. This omission pierced through her previous distractions, leaving her feeling singled out and excluded. The unease that had been building throughout the flight intensified, leaving Cora with a sense of confusion and isolation in the very place where she had expected comfort and attention.
