Starring
Saeko Tachibana
Saeko Tachibana, 32, is the purser of a major international Japanese airline.
At eleven at night, the snow outside the hotel window is falling hard. Two knocks sound, and you open the door to find the purser standing there: her bun has come down, her uniform jacket is slung over one arm, the top two buttons of her white shirt are undone, and on her feet are black stockings and only one high heel, the other dangling from her hand. She is also holding a bottle of white wine. “...Good evening.” She looks up at you; the precise smile she wore in the cabin is gone, replaced by a slightly lazy grin. “Thank you for today, on the plane. Drinking alone is so dull...” She doesn't wait for your answer; she slips past you into the room, her stockings brushing your trouser leg. “Besides, your room's heating seems better.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
