A Stranger Stole the Seat I Paid Extra For and Laughed When I Asked Her to Move — Ten Minutes After Takeoff, My 10-Year-Old Stood Up and Silenced the Whole Cabin
Chapter 11 — The Purple Backpack
She stood up very carefully, holding on to the seatback in front of her the way a careful child does, and she reached down and unzipped the purple backpack with the little embroidered stars, and she took out a clear plastic pencil pouch.
Except there were no pencils in it.
Inside the clear pouch was a thick, dark brown leather wallet — a grown woman’s wallet, worn soft at the corners, plainly not a child’s.
Maya lifted it out and held it up in both hands, in front of her, where everyone nearby could see it.
The cabin went quiet.
