Toby turned toward me, his wide blue eyes glowing with excitement. “Mom! He knows we are here! He is going to call us up!”
For one foolish second, I actually believed my son might be right. I even started unbuckling my safety belt, preparing to stand and smile at the surrounding passengers.
Then Brandon took a deep breath over the microphone and shattered my entire world. “There is a very special person sitting on this aircraft today, someone who has come to mean absolute everything to me.”
Toby squeezed my fingers, waiting eagerly for his father to say our names. I looked around the cabin with a forced smile, fully expecting Brandon to announce that his wife and son were sitting in the back.
