Chapter 16:

Mark assumed that his eyes were lying to him as he observed who it was that was sitting next to him

“Say something then!” the person exclaimed nervously as Mark didn’t say a word for the most part of 5 minute.

“Wh- wha- what do you expect me to say?” he stammered as he believed his eyes were deceiving him. ‘What are they doing on this plane?’ he silently thought as he attempted to regain his composure.

“I don’t know, aren’t you happy?” the person on his right questioned. Mark was stuck. He didn’t know what exactly he felt about this situation. Whether or not he is supposed to be happy. Whether or not he felt happy. He began to laugh as he attempted to put the latter at ease.
