You sat across from me reading Murakami, headphones in, lost in your world. Our eyes met just before Carroll Street, and for a second, the subway noise faded. I left at Jay Street—should’ve asked you what you were listening to.

You played violin at the 86th Street station, filling the air with Bach. I tossed a dollar into your case and our eyes met just as my train arrived. Your music made my day—care to grab a drink and play a duet?

We belted out “Don’t Stop Believin’” as strangers but sang like old friends. You toasted me with soju and then your group left in a cab. If you want to duet again, I’ll save your seat!

You bumped into me as the crowd surged, espresso flying onto your blazer. You smiled, said, “Just another Monday,” and disappeared into the sea of commuters. Can I buy you a new coffee (and maybe dry cleaning)?
