She didn’t introduce herself, she didn’t offer a polite smile, and she certainly didn’t wait for my consent before grabbing my calloused left hand and shoving a plain, cool silver band onto my ring finger.

Her hands were trembling so violently that the metal scraped against my knuckle, and the moment the ring was in place, she stared past my shoulder toward the front of the aircraft as though a man with a weapon had just stepped into the center aisle.
