2 weeks till the day of the trial
The sorrow in her heart was apparent as she boarded the plane that was headed for Bozeman. The walk down the long corridor to her seat was timed in hours instead of seconds. Every step she took reminded her of what she was about to face when she got to Montana.
She showed the flight attendant her ticket and the attendant pointed to her seat. It happened to be a window seat. Normally she would have loved a window seat but not today. Sitting there felt like the plane walls were going to collapse on her.
Sitting down, she glanced out the window. She saw the New York skyline. It was a painful reminder of what and who she was leaving behind. Only one word came to mind: Danny. Who could forget Danny? Those eyes, that hair, that ass. She smiled just thinking about it. Regardless of how he treated her in the beginning, the both loved each other but both of them were too stubborn to admit it. That's why they were perfect for each other.
An elderly woman sat down beside her. Her silvery hair gleamed in the remaining sunlight that billowed into the plane cabin. She looked over at Lindsay and even though she and Lindsay didn't know each other, she could tell that something was wrong. Something so big that no young woman should have to endure.
"Miss, is everything all right?" The elderly woman said, patting Lindsay's arm to comfort her.
"I'm all right." Lindsay said, her voice shaking with sadness. She didn't want to cry but she was about to.
"My name's Ada Carson." The woman said to Lindsay. 'You remind me of my granddaughter. She's a doctor now. . Can I get you anything?"
"No thank you." Lindsay said, forcing out a small smile, "But thank you."
Ada sat back into her seat and thought about the young woman in the seat next to her. Whatever was bothering here better end soon. Because life is precious.
