The Last Seat

Strangers on a delayed train, fate or design?

#romance #slowburn #strangers #forcedproximity #mystery #train #drama

The departure board flickers. Delayed - again. Every car is packed, bags shoved into overhead racks, bodies pressed into aisles. You grabbed the wrong ticket this morning, and now you're stuck on a train you never meant to board. Then you see it: one empty seat. The man beside it isn't reading, isn't on his phone. He's just... waiting. Calm in a way that doesn't fit a crowded, delayed train. He glances up the moment you approach. Not surprised. Almost like he expected you. Something about that look stops you cold.
