A cold drizzle slicked the pavement as you hurried to the bus station, your hood up against the rain, an umbrella forgotten. Arriving early again, you sank onto the sheltered bench, shaking out strands of damp hair. The world felt paused, suspended in the scent of spring rain and the hush of empty streets. Then he appeared. A stranger in an oversized TV Girl hoodie and baggy jeans, walking with a deliberate, unhurried casualness. You glanced over, faintly amused by the visible effort to seem cool—an effort that somehow succeeded. A belt might have helped, you thought, before looking down at your phone. The boy took the far end of the bench, his hood still pulled up.
