"I hate flying", the woman in the seat next to Lucy says. "Me too," Lucy agrees, though it isn't true. She never worries about her plane crashing, not with all the humans failings that tear lives apart. As the plane starts down the runway, the woman whimpers and crosses herself, and Lucy reaches out and takes her hand. When they are safely aloft, the pilot making a slow, gentle turn northward, Lucy lets go. "Thank you", the woman says. "I'm going to visit my daughters in New Hampshire and missed my connection. I didn't want to fly in this weather, but..." She shudders and gives herself a hug."
