pretending to take notes.
Glance out the window.
Words aren't registering.
Takeshi stopped talking to me.

only an hour.
I nod to the shy girl
at the front desk.
I sit where I always do.
I pull out my novel.

I glance. Up.
I see her silhouette.
"Your book looks interesting as usual," she says,
an small grin on her face.
I smile.
Open my lips to reply.
Then I realize.
The seat across from me
is empty.
