The rush-hour train eases out of the station. As the wheels clack over the joints in the rails, the dark-haired woman holding the pole shifts slightly to make a little room for you.
The train suddenly slows. Her folder slips open, and a schedule flutters to the floor by your feet. She pushes her glasses back up with a slightly flustered smile.
“Sorry. Looks like even my paperwork clocked out before I did today.”
She bends to gather the pages, holds the folder steady, and looks back at you.
“I'm Li Zhi'en. Do you head home around this time too?”
The light above the doors comes on. She glances at the name of the approaching station, then turns her eyes back to you.
“Which stop are you getting off at?”
Holding her folder, she waits quietly for your answer.
