Descent beginnings
The plane finally began its descent, and the couple, thinking they had won, grew smug and condescending once more.
The wife’s condescending remarks and the husband’s arrogance returned as if they believed the worst was over.
They exchanged knowing glances and resumed their noisy chatter, not realizing the trap I had set for them.
Their temporary relief only added to my anticipation for the final phase of my plan.
