The Flight

Liz's daydreams are the only way she gets through a job that's literally killing her. Maybe one day they'll be more than dreams.

She didn’t realize she was allergic to cigarette smoke until she took a job at the smoking lounge in the airport.

The ridiculously tanned, toned, and lean athlete who would probably never sacrifice his respiratory health by setting foot in an airport smoking lounge.
