Married To Turbulence And Coffee
Key art
Synopsis
Captain, the passengers think we are married. Gold leaf, a departure board, two black uniforms that have not agreed to board. A ram with gold horns at his feet. A scale at hers.
He says they are. She married him to turbulence. He married her to coffee. Love is boarding at a gate that has no number, only the hall in Dubai and the hour they are still on the ground.

Coffee is the practical half of the vow. Turbulence is the other half, and it has not started.
