“Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve reached our cruising altitude. The weather ahead looks smooth, and we expect to arrive in Seattle a few minutes early.”

The woman in white glanced toward the front, suddenly interested.
The captain continued.
“Mrs. Clooney, seated in 2F.”
Mrs. Clooney looked behind her.
For a moment, she seemed to think there must be another Mrs. Clooney on the plane.
