Jessica and her husband, Ben, had been planning their trip to Italy for months. On the morning of their flight, everything was going smoothly until they arrived at the airport check-in counter. Suddenly, Jessica realized she had left her passport on the kitchen table. Panicking, she called her neighbor, who luckily had a spare key. While Ben waited at the airport, the neighbor rushed over, grabbed the passport, and took a taxi to the airport. They received the passport just 20 minutes before check-in closed. Exhausted but relieved, they promised never to pack in a hurry again.
