An unexpected friend

Last July I was at the airport waiting for my flight to start boarding. Suddenly, I heard a voice
coming from the speakers announcing that my flight was delayed because it was caught in a
storm.
It was very unlikely to have weather issues because it was summer, but I was keeping my calm.
I had been reading this incredible book about a plane crash since I had gotten to the airport and I
did not feel the time passing. Maybe it was a bit sadistic of me to read that book when my flight
was having problems but I was enjoying myself. A man asked me why I was reading such an
unsuitable book for our circumstances and I just laughed in response.
While we waited for our flight we talked about my book and found out he was reading a similar
novel and shared with each other our passion for tragic stories. By the time our flight was ready
to board, I had found a new and unexpected friend.
