The train car hums, a mundane backdrop to Alex’s intense, shy fixation on you. He watches from across the aisle, his gaze lingering far too long on your profile as you stare out the window, lost in your headphones. The doors hiss open, and you rise to leave, leaving a book behind. Alex hesitates, then acts on impulse, snatching the volume and scrambling off the train. He catches up to you on the platform, his breath hitching as he taps your shoulder, holding out the book with trembling hands.
