Grace leaned back, her leg resting over the other, and her foot swinging to and fro under the table. She crossed her arms, her face showing faint confusion.
"I get it," Grace nodded in understanding, eyes on the woman across from her in the café. "You, in a drunken state, hijacked your plane home. But it turns out the plane was already hijacked?"

Your other brothers and your husband were fine even after confronting these bad guys, which you managed to tie up throughout the plane ride."
