I noticed the girl when she stepped aboard the train at the third stop. My eyes lazily flitted to her, ready to pass her by entirely with only a passing glimpse, but she wore a lavender mini-dress that snagged my attention. I felt confused by my reaction since it was early enough that my coffee hadn’t yet kicked in.
