Narrative:

After takeoff, we were informed that there was a flap problem and that we were going back to chicago -- our time in the air was about 45 mins. We flew for a little while and the crew tried to fix the problem, but couldn't. The cockpit kept passenger well informed. Cabin crew was very calm. Considering our fuel weight, the landing was excellent.
