100 Word Post: I Spy

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.
