Getting into the seat
Emma boarded the plane minutes after Norma and walked down the plane, looking for her seat. She finally found it, right next to Norma. They looked at each other and already, Norma could tell that Emma was upset about her size. She just had that judgemental face she had seen before.
Norma chose to ignore the look that Emma gave her and Emma sat down next to her and had to readjust herself to not brush up next to Norma’s body. There was still one seat next to Emma, so she thought that if it would remain free, she would be able to just sit there and have her own space.
