I Chickened Out

Rain was still flushed with embarrassment as she settled into her seat. She could feel Clifford's gaze, and she quickly hissed, "Stop staring!"

Their original seats were in economy, but the flight attendant had informed them that they were upgraded to business class, courtesy of her thoughtful husband. 

"I thought Alexander would leave me in economy to have some private time with you," Clifford grumbled, "but after what I saw earlier… I guess he's much crueler, sticking me up here just so I can suffer through your public displays of affection!"

Rain chuckled, knowing full well Alexander's intentions. His subtle pettiness was oddly charming, and she couldn't deny that she was anticipating more sweet gestures from him.

Turning to Clifford, she smirked, "Looks like I don't need to try so hard anymore. He's the one putting in the effort now, don't you think?"
