This story is part 2 of my first story, "Fuzzy Flight". I recommend reading that first.
After we had landed and had docked at the appropriate boarding bridge, there was a general rush to leave the plane. On my arm I carried the lovely thick and heavy knitted coat for my mature blonde travel-mate on her suggestion.
