The train from Brighton to London was crowded that Friday evening.Ella, balancing a coffee in one hand and her bag in the other, found her seat—14B—and noticed a cream-colored envelope lying on it.
It wasn’t addressed to anyone. Just a single word on the front:“Read.”
Curious, Ella sat down, opened it carefully, and unfolded a handwritten letter.
“If you’re reading this, you’re sitting where I always sit. I’ve been taking this train every Friday for two years, watching the world pass by. If you’d like to meet a stranger who loves the same sunsets as you, be here next Friday. — J”
Ella smiled despite herself. She wasn’t the type to answer random notes, but something about the handwriting felt warm, hopeful.
The following Friday, she hesitated on the platform, wondering if she was being foolish. Still, she boarded the same carriage, coffee in hand, and took seat 14B.
At 6:03 p.m., someone tapped her shoulder.

中文全文翻譯14B座位上的信封
那個周五的傍晚,從布萊頓開往倫敦的火車上擠滿了人。埃拉一手拿著咖啡,一手提著包,找到自己的座位——14B——卻發現座位上放著一個米色信封。
信封上沒有收件人地址,只有一個單詞:“讀”。
出于好奇,埃拉坐下來,小心地拆開它,展開一封手寫的信。
“如果你正在讀這封信,說明你正坐在我常坐的位置。我已經坐了兩年這趟周五的火車,看著窗外的世界飛馳而過。如果你愿意認識一個和你一樣喜歡日落的陌生人,下周五還來這里。——J”
埃拉忍不住笑了。她平時不是那種會回應陌生紙條的人,但這字跡里帶著溫暖與希望。
第二個周五,她站在站臺上猶豫著,不知道自己是不是太傻了。但她還是上了同一節車廂,手里捧著咖啡,坐回14B座位。
下午6點03分,有人輕輕拍了拍她的肩膀。
一位有著溫柔眼神的男子遞給她第二個信封。
“給你,”他輕聲說道。
里面只有一句話:
“我希望你會來。”
