She Blocked a Casually Dressed Man From the Lounge, Regretting It Seconds Later
The airport terminal was a chaotic sea of rushing travelers, rolling suitcases, and blaring boarding announcements. Brandon walked calmly through the crowd, wearing a simple charcoal grey t-shirt and a dark sports baseball cap. He was exhausted after a long day of travel, and his only goal was to find a quiet place to rest before his next flight.

Her light brown hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail, and she wore the standard blue airline vest with a neatly tied neck scarf.

Brandon felt a flash of annoyance, but he kept his composure. Instead of arguing, he smirked, gently but firmly pushed past her outstretched arm, and walked straight into the lounge, leaving the stunned agent sputtering behind him.
