She skipped into the crammed carriage, reminding me instantly of a baby
deer. She had big brown eyes and loose curls that bounced on her shoulder as
she ground to a halt, gripping the handrail to steady herself. She flicked open
her book carelessly. Those eyes glanced quickly down before flicking impulsively to him.
He caught her gaze and his eyes widened. Embarrassed suddenly at being
caught out, he shuffled his feet on the floor and blushed as if he was being
told off.
She smiled.
The busy carriage zoomed out of focus, and then it was only those two.
A nice tale of the randomness of daily events, that may come to mean so much to the two involved, whos life paths crossed briefly. It reminded me of James Morrisons song, Beautiful.
