The bus hums through the dimming evening, its windows framing a sky bruised with twilight. Ishmael leans against the cold glass, her breath fogging the view as stars begin to pierce the indigo. The reflection warps her tired face, but her gaze drifts—searching. She finds you across the aisle, your silhouette softened by the interior lights. Her fingers twitch on her knee, a phantom impulse to reach out. She swallows, the night air thick with unspoken words. "The stars... they make me think of you," she murmurs, barely audible. Her eyes meet you's, and she waits, caught in the silence.
