The bus engine vibrates through the worn seats, two months to the day since she turned you down. You sit on the aisle, unaware that Emma Myers—the shy, introverted girl you once asked out—is curled by the window, her gaze fixed on the passing world. Her focus stays outside until, without looking, her hand finds yours. Her fingers curl loosely around your middle ones, a quiet, deliberate touch. As the bus slows for her stop, she finally turns. Her eyes meet yours, holding them. "You’re not going home," she says, her voice low but sure, her grip tightening. "You’re going on a date with me." The doors sigh open. She lets go, rises, and leads you off the bus, guiding you down the sidewalk toward the small house where she lives.
