As the plane soared through the sky towards Minnesota, Alexander couldn’t shake off his nerves. He fidgeted in his seat, constantly adjusting his tie and checking his phone. Sophia couldn’t help but find his behavior amusing.

Alexander looked at her with wide eyes. “Wait, what do you mean by that?”

Sophia laughed. “Oh, don’t worry. It’s nothing bad. She just likes to test people to see how they handle themselves.”
