The Man on the Train, Continued...
He didn’t sleep much that night. Her smile—curious, knowing—looped in his mind like a song he couldn’t turn off.
He had no idea if she’d be there the next morning. But he got dressed carefully. Shirt. Watch. Wallet. Keys.
Pendant. Always.
He stepped onto the train, scanning the car like he wasn’t. She wasn’t there. Not yet.
Two stops later, she was.
Same row. Different seat. And this time, no hesitation. She walked right up and sat beside him.
“You wore it again,” she said, eyes twinkling.
“Every day,” he replied.
She didn’t speak for a moment. Then:
“My husband gave me mine. Said if someone ever recognized it, I was allowed to say yes.”
She touched her ankle, just briefly—her Partners ID pendant catching the light like a secret.
They sat in silence for a few moments, the quiet of the train humming between them.
Finally, she pulled a small notepad from her bag. Wrote something down. Folded the paper and slid it into his coat pocket.
“My stop’s next,” she said, standing.
She didn’t look back when she walked off the train. He waited until the doors closed before reaching into his pocket.

“I’m usually on the 7:45.”
He smiled. Looked down at the pendant resting against his chest.
He had a feeling the ride was just getting started.
When Signals Align
The Partners ID pendant isn’t loud. It doesn’t need to be.
It’s for those who know what they want—and know how to let the right person notice.
Sometimes it’s across a crowded room.
Sometimes it’s on a train full of strangers.
But when it lands?
It lands.
