I take the train to Manchester every Saturday morning to spend the weekend with my mum. I take the train back to Leeds every Sunday night. 
    
    She is always on the train when I get on. She is always on the train when I get off. Always in the same seat. Always wearing the same clothes, with the same iced coffee from Costa. Always reading the same paperback - The Perks of Being a Wallflower to be precise. Always sketching something blocked from my field of view by her left arm. The only thing that changes is her hair. 
    
    ***************************************
    
    One train.
    Two girls with broken pasts. 
    Three years of ignoring each other.
    Four words spoken in passing.
    Five chances at a conversation.
