OMG!!

So, 4 hours into the flight, as I was gossiping with my captain in the galley (before you ask what a captain is doing outside the deck - he was just stretching his legs and waiting for the lavatory to become vacant), a very old and quite over weighted lady comes out the lavatory with some tears rolling down her face.

I immediately asked what was wrong. And then she started to tell about her cousin, who just had some kind of a stroke, and that she was so sad, and she´s so old and doesn´t know how to cop with it, and so on, so on.. I tried to comfort her and changed the subject. I told her she should just enjoy her holidays and not think much about her problems back home, I asked how long she was staying on the island, what she was up to, etc..

Then she says something about just turning 85 years-old. To make her feel happy I over-reacted saying:

-"Wow!! No way you´re 85.. How do you do that, you gotta tell me your secret!"

I was expecting her to tell me stuff like eating healthy, consuming no alcohol, being sporty... But what she replied, made my jaw fell off:

-"Did you notice my man? He´s sitting by the window just next to me".

I kinda nudged, but I had no idea who her man was. And she realised that. So she opened the galley curtain and pointed. Then left with a big smile.

And there he was, sitting at 4A. Me and the captain, had our heads sticking out the curtain, looked at the man, then looked at each other. Then looked again at 4A. And looked again at each other. The face expression my captain was doing must have been the same as mine. We were so chocked and were giggling so hard we had to run inside the cockpit.

The man sitting at 4A, was a very good looking young man, who was certainly in his mid-30´s, with an ebony ton colour and long dreadlocks. Her lover-boy.
