PART 1<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Daniel had never forgotten an anniversary in twelve years.<\/p>\n

That was why Mercy believed her surprise would become one of the sweetest memories of their marriage. Her husband was a pilot, and their life had always bent around flight schedules, delays, and last-minute changes. Birthdays could move. Holidays could wait. But their anniversary had always been protected.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

So when Daniel told her he had been assigned a short evening flight on their special day, he looked genuinely upset.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to switch it,\u201d he said. \u201cI hate that I won\u2019t be with you tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mercy smiled and pretended to be disappointed, but inside, an idea was already forming.<\/p>\n

That night, after Daniel fell asleep, she bought a ticket for the same flight.<\/p>\n

She imagined his face when he saw her after landing. She would wear the red dress he loved, surprise him at the destination, and they would still celebrate their anniversary together.<\/p>\n

The next morning, she curled her hair, did her makeup carefully, and slipped into the dress. At the airport, she spotted Daniel near the gate in uniform and quickly hid behind a pillar before he could see her.<\/p>\n

She boarded near the end, took her seat in 14C, and kept her face down.<\/p>\n

Then the plane pulled away from the gate.<\/p>\n

Daniel\u2019s voice came through the speaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cLadies and gentlemen, this is your captain\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Mercy smiled, waiting for the normal announcement.<\/p>\n

But Daniel paused.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore we take off, I want to say something to someone very special on this plane tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mercy\u2019s heart jumped. For one crazy second, she thought he had discovered her surprise.<\/p>\n

Then he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the beautiful woman in 15C\u2026 you mean everything to me. I don\u2019t want to hide how I feel anymore. Soon, we won\u2019t have to.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cabin broke into applause.<\/p>\n

Mercy froze.<\/p>\n

She was not in 15C.<\/p>\n

And Daniel was not speaking to his wife.<\/p>\n
