The couple shares the small row of seats at the end of the train. She sits, leaning her back against his chest and he with his arms around her. Her left leg dangles over the armrest for it is a mostly empty train and she is in no one’s way. When the muffled voice over the intercom announces the stop, they quickly jump up and walk off the train - they aren’t late but want to get to the bar before their friends start playing.
The night air that hits them is brisk and windy. Although it is relatively early on a Thursday, the day commute has ended and the night not yet come to life.
