So I'm like helping her with her seatbelt.

And so she says to me at that point, can I ask you for a favor?

And I said, sure.

And she said, can I hold your hand?

And I, you know, I thought it was a bit awkward, but I said, okay, sure.

So I'm sitting in the window seat.

She was sitting to my left.

So I gave her my left hand and she held on really, really tight with her right hand.

Yes, we're starting to taxi very slowly towards the runway.

She had her rosary in her left hand and she's holding my hand and she had her eyes closed and she was praying under her breath.

Like I could see, hear her praying under her, and it was like our father.

And then as the plane starts picking up speed and we're going down the runway, she just switches to saying like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.

And then as the wheels sort of lift from the runway, you know, you get that feeling a little bit in your stomach.

And she just turns around and bites me really hard in the forearm.

Yes, she lifted the hand that was holding my hand and sort of bit into my forearm really hard.

Close to my elbow, kind of.

Yeah, yeah.

And she didn't let go for a bit, so I was yelling, and she kind of had her teeth in me.

So she did not break my skin.

There was no blood.
