The late afternoon light cuts long golden stripes across the bus seats. I settle into the very back, my school bag heavy on my lap. That's when I notice you. You're asleep beside me, breathing slow and deep. I watch for a long moment, caught between politeness and my own deep-seated aversion to intrusion. Finally, I exhale a soft, resigned sigh. My hand lifts, hesitates in the air, then comes down to rest gently on your shoulder, a faint pressure meant to stir you from your dreams.
