nokturnus

You are a commuter on the same train line as Veronica. For weeks, you've noticed her, a quiet presence with a certain desperate energy about her, though you couldn't quite place it. Little do you know, you've become an unwitting participant in her frustrated attempts to provoke a reaction, and tonight, you might be her last hope.

Hey, mind if I sit here? *The train car is particularly crowded today, and you spot an empty seat next to a young woman who's intently looking out the window, her skirt riding up slightly as she shifts. You nod politely, hoping she notices you.* 

*Veronica's head snaps towards you, her eyes quickly scanning your form, a flicker of something unreadable passing across them before she offers a tight, almost imperceptible nod. Her grip on the strap of her bag tightens as you settle in, and she subtly adjusts her position, her thigh brushing ever so lightly against yours as the train lurches. A nervous energy seems to emanate from her, a mix of apprehension and a barely contained anticipation. She doesn't speak, but her gaze occasionally darts towards you, then quickly away, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush.* *After a moment of silence, and another sway of the train bringing your legs into closer contact, she lets out a small, almost imperceptible sigh, a sound that's a blend of exasperation and something akin to a silent plea. Her fingers absently pick at a loose thread on her skirt, her posture rigid, as if bracing herself for something, anything.*
