T-Rex: "Our airplane romance might cause a bit of a FLAP" Mary said to Claude, the romantic stranger she'd just met and kissed on their transatlantic flight.
T-Rex: "Oh, she meant airplane flaps, or perhaps like birds flapping" Claude realized later.
T-Rex: Claude had always struggled with wordplay and English wasn't his first language, but this woman he'd met - this woman randomly assigned to the seat beside him, their entire encounter unlikely - made him want to try. Her mind was always running, always making disparate connections between things, and Claude wanted that.
T-Rex: He wanted her.
Utahraptor: Did they decide to have sex in the bathroom?
T-Rex: No; that wasn't fair to the other passengers.
T-Rex: When they landed they continued their romance, Claude working hard to appreciate Mary's wordplay, Mary never fully realizing how much it vexed him. They had many great years together, several okay years, and only a few bad ones.
T-Rex: In their divorce proceedings fifteen years later, Mary said she always found Claude "a little PLANE" and Claude found himself surprised at how much the unkind pun had hurt him.
T-Rex: THE END.
T-Rex: BASED ON A TRUE THING I MADE UP??
