I explained everything.
Lucas kept interrupting.
I explained everything.
“That’s not what happened!”
“She’s exaggerating!”
“There’s barely any room!”
Curtis asked him to let me finish.
When I did, Lucas folded his arms.
“She’s exaggerating!”
“So you’re just taking her word for it?”
I turned toward the woman across the aisle.
“Ma’am, could you tell Curtis what you witnessed?”
She looked nervous.

Then she put down her magazine.
I thought she’d changed her mind.
“I saw him lean against her again after you warned him,” she said.
Lucas stared at her.
“You weren’t even paying attention!”
“I was sitting right here!”
The man beside her spoke.
“I was sitting right here!”
“I heard him making jokes about her. She didn’t seem amused.”
Lucas’s face reddened.
