he takes the same train. same time, same car. he's always put together, always in control, always moving forward. he doesn't have time for anything that doesn't serve him. but when he notices her-really notices her-he can't seem to stop. maybe it's the way she stares out the window like she's somewhere else entirely. maybe it's the way she never lingers, never hesitates, like she's afraid of staying too long.
they don't speak. not at first. but glances turn into curiosity, silence turns into something else, and one day, he finally sits down beside her.
they only ever talk on the subway. never outside of it. because the subway isn't real life. it's just a moment in between. a place where things begin but never last.
but some things are meant to follow you home.
