Masculin Feminin

Dan stepped on the train and saw Lyla, a stranger.

"Didn't we see each other tomorrow?" he asked. "That's two days in a row."

"What do you mean?"

But he couldn't satisfy her with an answer, and she turned away.

The next day, Lyla saw Dan step on again.

"We saw each other yesterday," she said, "do you remember?"

"Is that a joke?"

She couldn't explain herself, and he turned away.

When they saw each other again, many years later, they didn't speak.
