“I let her take my window seat when we were on final approach. I stood in the aisle and watched her.” You stood in the aisle on final approach?
I suppose I shouldn’t have said “final approach,” but I don’t know what the term is for the interval of before you land during which you’re low enough to make out houses, streets, schools, shopping centers, etc., and when you have to sit down. It was quite a while, three or four minutes at least.
