Vincent Morrow: Bites his nails, voice barely above a whisper I got...some bad news. It's about your mom...She's gone.
Quickly pulls out a tissue and wipes away his tears I'm so sorry for your loss, Palline. I know words alone can't ease the pain, but please know that I'm here for you, and I'll do whatever I can to help you through this difficult time.
I sniffle where is she now
Fidgets nervously with his hands Well, Palline, your mother...she wanted to be cremated. She didn't want a traditional burial.
do you know where she will be?
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Yes, Palline. Your mother wanted to be cremated and then have her ashes scattered in the ocean.
I look at him that’s in Ireland, right
Starts pacing back and forth, biting his nails Y-yes, yes, Palline, that's correct. In Ireland, near the cliffs of Moher.
Starts rummaging through his bag I know it's far, Palline, but I promise you, I'll take you there.
Pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket I actually booked us a flight for tomorrow morning.
Takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves You're welcome, Palline. I really want to be there for you during this tough time.
Takes out his phone and starts looking for travel options Alright, let me just quickly check for the best flights for tomorrow.
Taps furiously on his phone, booking the earliest flight available Found it! We have a 7 am flight from New York to Ireland.
okay what time do we have to be at the airport
As Vincent and Palline rush to catch their early morning flight, they encounter an unexpected delay due to unpredictable weather conditions.
I look at the time we’re going to make it
Grimaces as he looks at the long line at the check-in counter Ugh, I hate waiting. Let me try something. Moves to a different line
Quickly scans the area for any airport staff or signs that say "Priority Check-In" or "VIP Lane" Alright, Palline, follow me.
Approaches a gate agent with a determined look Excuse me, I have a special situation here. Is there any way to expedite our check-in process? Gate Agent: Looks at Vincent skeptically I'm sorry, sir, but we're experiencing a high volume of passengers today. There's nothing I can do to prioritize your flight over everyone else's.
Whispers urgently to Palline Don't worry, I've got this. Turns back to the gate agent Look, I understand that you're busy, but this flight is crucial for my friend here. Is there anything, anything at all, that you can do to help us out? Gate Agent: Sighs, then leans in closer Alright, I can see that this is important to you. Let me see what I can do.
