Last Train

Last train. Ringbahn Line S41. 23:47.

Nico: Hey, you're the girl sitting across from me in the car, right?

Mara: What?? How do you have my number?

Nico: I don't, I AirDropped you a note with my number haha. Check your phone

Mara: Oh haha the "Nico from the U-Bahn." Very creative.

Nico: I didn't dare talk to you in person because it's so quiet in the car and it'd be awkward

Mara: But if you don't talk to me, what do you want haha

Nico: You've been reading a book since you got on and I'm dying to know what it is

Mara: And you couldn't just look at the cover?

Nico: Yeah, but then I wouldn't have an excuse to text you

Mara: Hahaha okay that was smooth

Mara: It's Murakami. Norwegian Wood.

Nico: No way, it's my favorite book

Mara: You're just saying that to flirt

Nico: I swear I'm not. "Death is not the opposite of life but a part of it."

Mara: Okay I believe you haha

Nico: Hey look up from your phone for a second

Mara looks up. Across the car, a guy with dark hair and green eyes smiles at her.

Nico: Hi

Mara: Hi haha this is so weird

Mara: Why don't you come sit here? We're the only ones in this car

Nico: Because if I sit next to you I'll turn red and I'd rather you not see that

Mara: You're adorable

Nico: Where are you heading?

Mara: To the end of the line. Westkreuz.
