Flawless
““Thank you for your patience, ladies and gents.” The captain’s voice rang out over the speaker system, full of false joviality. “I’m afraid air traffic control has just told us we’ve got to keep circling for about another ten minutes. Another plane has taken our slot, apparently, but we should be on the ground by half past three, so do bear with us.”
A collective groan rose from the passenger cabin. After eleven hours in an overcrowded plane full of young families returning home for Christmas, ...the mothers with sick in their hair and kids in various stages of meltdown, nobody was in a particularly patient mood. Scarlett, although in no particular hurry to deal with Heathrow’s baggage claim hall, also wanted to get off the plane, which had begun to feel stiflingly claustrophobic.
It was the first time she’d been back home in a year, and already it felt like a letdown. If only she’d made it back in the summer, when she was riding high with Flawless, Trade Fair’s Siberian campaign was taking off, and things were still new and exhilarating with Magnus.MoreLess
