Throughout the flight, Alison found reasons to visit Robin's seat, each time bringing something new-a cup of tea, a plate of fruit, even an extra blanket when she thought he might need it.

Passengers around them began to take notice, their glances turning into murmurs.

Alison's attention toward Robin was unmistakable, a display that set her apart from the usual aloofness of the crew.

Before long, frustration rippled through the cabin.

A few passengers shifted in their seats, muttering complaints about the apparent favoritism.

One man turned to a flight attendant and asked, with more than a little curiosity, "Is he her boyfriend or something?"

Alison fielded each comment and calmed every pointed look with practiced ease, deflecting concerns and putting out small fires as they arose.

After years in the air, she knew exactly how to handle complaints.

And yet, today, even she felt a hint of unease. It wasn't in her nature to act like this.

Why was she doing this? Deep down, Alison knew the answer. She wanted to erase any resentment Robin might still harbor toward her.

She remembered the last flight too well, when she'd allowed Ashley's words to taint her view of Robin. She'd judged him, assuming he was little more than a man with connections to Stephanie, the older woman who had met him. She had, for a brief moment, dismissed him as some lucky playboy.

But Terenova had shown her the truth.

Robin was far more than he appeared, a man whose quiet influence stretched far and whose patience had its limits. Ashley, with his father's small position in the Harmonfield government, had no idea who he was provoking.

If Ashley ever tried anything against Robin in Harmonfield, he'd only end up exposing his own foolishness. Robin would ruin him with barely a word, and his father's modest influence would be nowhere near enough to save him.

He was every bit as clueless as those self-important souls in Terenova who had crossed Robin and paid dearly for it.

In this world, many individuals overestimate their importance, blind to the disgrace that lies ahead.

Alison was certain that once they reached Harmonfield, Ashley would continue to cling to the delusion that his father's modest government role granted him the right to boss around someone like Robin or seek revenge. The very idea was ridiculous.

If Ashley pursued such a course, he would surely find himself descending into chaos.
