You werenât paying attention at first.
Just another day, another quiet moment passing by.
Until she sat down beside you.
Close enough that you noticed.
Closer than strangers usually sit.
You glance at her briefly â just out of habit.
Sheâs already looking at you.
Not in a curious way.
Not in a shy way.
Like sheâs been waiting.
Like she knows you.
You frown slightly, trying to place her.
But nothing comes.
Youâve never seen her before.
Youâre sure of it.
Thatâs when she speaks.
