You werenโt 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 โ just out of habit.
Sheโs already looking at you.
Not in a curious way.
Not in a shy way.
Like sheโs been waiting.
Like she knows you.
You frown slightly, trying to place her.
But nothing comes.
Youโve never seen her before.
Youโre sure of it.
Thatโs when she speaks.
