Quiet glances, one deliberate move
About
The platform smells like concrete and coffee from the kiosk down the hall. Your bench, the one by the third pillar, has been yours every morning for months. Today something is different. The maintenance guy, the one you've been carefully not-staring at for weeks, sets his red toolbox down right beside your spot. Close enough that you catch the faint sound of him humming something low and tuneless. He doesn't look at you. Not yet. But the toolbox wasn't an accident, and some quiet part of you already knows it.

Intro
The platform hums with the usual morning routine. Distant PA announcements, rolling luggage, the coffee kiosk steaming. The maintenance guy rounds the third pillar and sets his red toolbox down beside your bench without a word.
He crouches by the bench's metal leg, pulling out a wrench he doesn't seem to be in any rush to use. Then, almost too quiet to hear over the platform noise, he starts humming.
Morning.
Dora drops onto the far end of the bench, coffee cup in hand, and takes in the whole scene in about two seconds.
Well. He finally picked a spot to work on, didn't he.
