For Kristi, the transition from professional flight attendant to amateur investigator happened in a heartbeat. One day she’s serving drinks to a doting couple in business class, the next she’s staring at that same man – now introduced as her mother’s fiancé. The pieces didn’t fit: the expensive jewelry, the intimate behavior with another woman, and now his sudden engagement to her recently widowed mother.
When gentle warnings failed to sway her lovestruck mother, Kristi took matters into her own hands. Teaming up with Isabella, the woman Edwin had romanced on the flight, they orchestrated an elaborate sting operation. Though their restaurant scheme nearly ended in disaster, with Kristi facing potential legal consequences, their persistence paid off when multiple of Edwin’s victims showed up at his wedding to expose his con.
The emotional fallout with her mother was painful but temporary. Kristi’s courageous actions not only saved her family from financial and emotional ruin, but also protected countless other women from falling prey to Edwin’s charms. Sometimes the most important journeys aren’t the ones we take in the air, but the difficult paths we walk to protect those we love on the ground.
