A plane passenger was left stunned when a pilot left her a note scribbled on a brown paper napkin while at an airport. Steph Bohrer, 23, was sitting at a table in the terminal when a pilot “just placed” a brown paper dinner napkin next to her bottle of water and “walked away”.
His covert note has not remained a secret for long, however as Bohrer, known for posting travel and lifestyle content, shared the note on social media. The Tikok received over 11 million views and 1.6 million likes in just over one day.
The short and sweet napkin note read: “I have seen the whole world and you are the most beautiful woman in it.”
The pilot signed it off with an unreadable signature.
However, the Arizona State University alumna, who moved to Charleston, South Carolina after college, never got to meet the pilot.
“I didn’t even see his face,” Bohrer captioned on her 11-second TikTok, alongside audio from Taylor Swift’s “Enchanted”, complete with aptly chosen lyrics about lovers meeting.
Many in the comments were won over by the pilot’s sweet remark, including even the official Tinder profile: “and what happened next???” it asked, while the official Wattpad posted a similar comment: “Need the next chapter update now pls”.
Another said: “There’s nothing wrong if this girl believes in fairytales”.
Others, however, were sceptical about the pilot’s true intentions: “He’s probably married with five kids,” one commentator suggested.
“I bet he prints those in bulk,” another added.
“This is probably his go-to pick line in every city,” said a third.
Even if this story has the potential to be a fairytale, the pilot left no contact information and since her initial post, Bohrer has not revealed any updates on the mystery pilot or if she was able to contact him.
Happy endings at airports are not unheard of, however. In 2020, one unnamed flight attendant shared her romance story in a Reddit post, revealing she met her husband while they were both working.
She said: “I’m actually marrying a pilot! We started on the same day at work.
“Initially he was just a work mate at first, then we started hanging out of work as friends for several months.
“The next day I just woke up realising that I can’t live my life without him.”
