Her name was Susan and she was one of his old classmates.
In the beggining she didn't know who he was. Her first sight had been polite, but without any sign of recognition. He was embarrassed to start a conversation because at secondary school they had had an affair. They had been so happy during that time!!
Sam started to remember some activities that they shared. They usually went to the cinema, played basketball and took part in a group that played amateur theatre. Most of their time together was in the last course of secondary school, and at the end of the school year a new boy appeared, a good-looking guy who was responsible for the end of their love affair.
All these memories come back to Sam before the plane took off. At his seat he continued thinking if it could be a good idea to talk with Susan. She spent her time with a book, and didn't seem very interested in all the people around her. The trip was really short and he didn't have enough confidence to say a word.
He had been shy since his chilhood. She had been his first love and, with his attitude, probably his last one.
