She dispelled any rumors of a fly-by-night romance.

A South Carolina woman is in the spotlight after receiving a “romantic” letter from a pilot and facing the consequences of the attention it brought her way. Steph Bohrer, an influencer, found herself at the center of a viral moment after a pilot left a note for her at the Atlanta airport in Georgia, sparking curiosity and mixed reactions.

Steph, alongside her friend Maya, encountered the unexpected gesture when the pilot discreetly placed a brown napkin in front of her before walking away. Not expecting the level of attention it would receive, Steph decided to share the encounter on TikTok, leading to a massive 21.5 million views and a flurry of responses from viewers.

The chin-wipe was scrawled with the short but sweet message, “I have seen the whole world and you are the most beautiful human in it.”

The video not only generated positive messages of support and excitement but also drew attention to the potential implications of such an encounter. Despite the initial thrill of the gesture, Steph is now in a position where she feels the need to apologize to the sender for unknowingly causing an unwanted public uproar. The incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable outcomes that come with sharing personal experiences online, especially in the age of viral social media trends.

This flurry of attention perplexed the Charleston resident, who felt like this was much ado about nothing.

She decided to address the incident on camera to clear up any misunderstandings.

“I wasn’t gonna make a follow-up video about this, but I just have been getting sent like news articles all day, like I’m literally on the national news,” Bohrer explained in a followup clip filmed with her friend and fly-witness Maya. “And I don’t know why, because I just posted this innocent little video.”

The traveler explained that the secret admirer wasn’t even the pilot on her flight and that she “didn’t even see this man’s face.”

In fact, her friend Maya was the one who noticed her secret admirer, whom she described in the clip as short with blond hair.

“I saw his face for maybe a split second,” she elaborated.

Bohrer, meanwhile, has since apologized to the flyboy for thrusting him into the spotlight, explaining, “I don’t think he wanted this to be on the news, and I’m really sorry he just was giving me a compliment.”

She also dismissed any notions of this “nice gesture” turning into some “Officer and a Gentleman”-esque romance.

“I don’t even know his name, signature, anything. Don’t have his phone number, and it’s okay,” declared the TikTokker, before warning comment section matchmakers, “you don’t have to set us up … I’m good.”

However, Bohrer said she plans to frame the napkin as a tribute to the “nice compliment” she was given from a “gentleman.”
