Before I Count To Three (Cellphone Novel) [HIATUS]

Chapter 24

We whisk ourselves onto the train

Just in time before the doors close behind us

Nearly nipping our skirts, the tassels on the charms hanging from our bags.

And hurriedly grab onto the rail or the handles

To steady ourselves

Before the train lurches forward with a groan.

The seats are packed.

"How many more stations?"

I anxiously turn my head to Miyu with a whisper.

Her eyes are on her phone, checking the time and distance

Until we arrive.

She's one step ahead of my question.

"Six."

We both know but we're both too excited. Double checking, triple checking.
