91 Ways contributor Emma tells of a fleeting encounter over the unlikeliest of foods, which will stay with her forever:

“The most important part of your life is – or at least I think it is – when you fall in love for the first time. And when this happened to me, I was eating lousy airplane food and he was drinking red wine plastic cup (seriously, who drinks wine on plane?). He was – and still is – the most perfect being on this planet. Ever since we met, the frozen croissants and gooey desserts are my favourite.

But the thing with people you meet on a plane is, you usually never see them again. And that’s what happened to me. I don’t really care, though. I don’t care if it is odd to say you’re in love with someone you barely know but I am and he’s everything you could wish for, he’s everything I’ve ever wanted and I feel like singing everytime I think of him.

So that’s my story”.
