The story so far is, Sadie, born and raised in Australia, found her grandma's diary after her mother's passing. Intrigued by the diary and her mother's German background, she's on her way to Germany to meet her family over there.

About an hour later I sit back in an airplane going through
all the same procedures as twelve hours earlier – storing away my on-board
luggage in the overhead locker after taking out all the things I need right
next to me and trying to make myself comfortable in my tiny seat next to the
window (which is useless because it’s midnight and there’s not a thing to see
in the distance). I steal a couple of glances around, but there’s no Toby.
He excused himself as we walked to the boarding gate. I
assumed he had to visit the little boys’ room. One could say, that’s when I
lost him, but I suppose Mum would argue I’d lost him when accusing him of
picking up girls.
Mum! Pain cuts right through my heart and a sudden longing for
her rises within me.
Have my words been plain rude? Or did I just freak out
because a man, other than David was flirting with me?
Thank you all for your support and kind comments.
I do appreciate each single one of them!
