A Man Kept Manspreading Into a Woman's Plane Seat for Hours – When He Returned From the Restroom, He Shouted, 'What the Hell Did You Do?!'

Marianne sat beside me.

"A little, but sitting helps."

"Would you like me to take her?"

"Absolutely not!"

Marianne laughed and squeezed my shoulder.

I kissed Rose's forehead.

For hours, I'd struggled to make myself comfortable while someone insisted I didn't deserve the space I'd paid for.

Now my daughter was beside me, and my granddaughter was sleeping peacefully in my arms.

Marianne glanced at the time.

I looked down at Rose.

"Could we stay another minute? I'd like to hold her a little longer."

Marianne smiled.

"We've got all afternoon, Mom."

She rested her head against my shoulder as Rose settled closer.

And for once, nobody expected me to give up my place.
