The Co-pilot Seat Was Never Mine

Olivia spent eight years by Ethan's side, watching him work his way up from first officer to captain.

During his busiest year, I quit my job and planned my meals around his flight schedule.

Once, I asked him, "Can you take me up to see the world from ten thousand meters, just once?"

He coldly replied, "That's a workplace, not an amusement park."

I said okay, and never brought it up again.

Until one night, I found a hidden album on his phone.

It contained a silhouette of a woman sitting in his cockpit.

The next morning, I brewed coffee as usual and drank it in silence.
