Captain Hayes waits for respect
My heart was thumping louder with every second that passed. Captain Hayes stood there, arms crossed, waiting for some respect to be shown.
Cynthia and Richard acted like they didn’t feel the weight of his presence. Passengers around us watched in anticipation.
Cynthia glanced at Hayes, raising her eyebrows slightly, as if questioning why he was still there. The tension was heavy and awkward, making the moment feel even longer.
