Mercy had never missed an anniversary in twelve years, so when her pilot husband Daniel was assigned to fly on their special day, she secretly bought a ticket for his flight to surprise him after landing. She dressed in a red dress he loved, excited to celebrate and finally share a rare romantic moment together.

As the plane pushed back, she waited for his familiar announcement, but instead Daniel spoke warmly about someone special on board and declared affection for a woman in the cabin, leaving passengers applauding while Mercy froze in shock and confusion.
Mercy slowly looked toward the seat Daniel mentioned and saw a young pregnant woman resting her hand on her stomach. Her heart sank as doubt turned into fear, and she stood up, walking toward the restroom to steady herself—but what she saw in the mirror made everything feel far worse than she expected.
