As the plane hurtled onto the runway at a dangerous speed, a full 100 knots faster than normal,
my captain husband said to his ex-girlfriend,
“Qianqian, wait for me...”
And I heard every word from the control tower.
After going through life and death together, they had found true love. How could I not give them my blessing?
Much later, he deliberately piloted the flight I was on and announced over the cabin speakers that he was waiting for someone to change her mind.
I waited for him at the end of the jet bridge as he disembarked, handed him my wedding invitation, and asked with a smile,
“Shen Congwen, will you come to my wedding?”
