Chapter 8. Baby Talk and Family Drama

"I hope you guys enjoyed your dinner and have a nice night."

Jessi stirred awake from her nap when she heard the soft beep signaling the last part of another announcement from the pilot. Were they approaching the airport in Los Angeles?She blinked at the blurry beige shapes before her and glimpsed the time on her phone.

8:10PM. Nope. Few more hours to go.

They'd been up in the air before six. Meaning: she had been napping for two hours straight. Good enough to recharge her.

Refreshed and a little hungry, she sat up and muffled a yawn. It got rid of her airplane ears. Her left ear popped, relieving some pain. Her grogginess almost made her forget about her headache, but at least her skull no longer felt like it was going to split in half.

She needed lots of rest tonight. Then she would have to buy some food for herself for the next couple of days. There was a small fridge in her new apartment, but not much cooking utensils. She needed pots and pans, too.
