Name never caught

Looking for someone — Airport departure gate, Singapore, 2013

Airport departure gate, Singapore, Singapore Spring 2013, night

A nine-hour delay at the same gate. He bought coffee for a family with two exhausted children and then complained about the coffee for an hour to general delight. He talked about his son studying overseas. We boarded different flights and I never learned anything but that.
