The first time she saw her, she never knew a heart could beat so loud. She didn't think the pulsation of her weak muscle could par with the roar of subways and people, that it could put a halt to her train of thought. It was prominent, thunderous, cadenced in a way that demanded acknowledgement from its owner; Elsa clutched her chest, unsettled and worried by the sudden awareness of her bpm.
She glanced at the source of her unease, who was standing obliviously on the opposite end of the car. She took in the sniffling button nose situated between ruddy cheeks, the few strands of reddish blonde hair that stuck to her parted lips and straggled from her messy braid, the woman must've rushed to catch the subway. Elsa pursed her lips as she strained to get a better view of the fellow rider through the crowd.
She made note of the countless freckles that dusted the stranger's face and dark lashes that hid her eyes. From where Elsa stood, there wasn't much else to look at, there were plenty of other people packed in the car that looked a bit more presentable but she felt drawn to this person in particular. Elsa didn't notice the sub come to a stop until the crowd bustled through the doors, carrying the messy haired enigma along with them. Nor did she notice her heart following until she stepped on to the platform and the subway took off behind her. The stranger was no longer in site. Elsa cursed under her breath and scowled, this wasn't her stop. She won't get home on time this evening.
