Whispers of Romance on a Train

Late night, near-empty passenger train rattling through countryside. Windows fogged, occasional flashes of light from passing stations. Atmosphere: quiet, intimate, tense.

Woman: late 20s, slender build, fair skin, shoulder-length blonde hair slightly tangled, blue eyes tired but intense, denim jacket, black scarf, fingers clutching a folded letter. Expression: hesitation mixed with hope.

Man: early 30s, athletic build, olive skin, short black hair, trimmed beard, brown eyes locked on her. Grey hoodie under a leather jacket, posture leaning forward, jaw set.

Woman lowers her gaze, hands him the letter with trembling fingers. Man unfolds it, eyes scanning quickly. He looks up, whispering something urgent.

Medium close-up from aisle → slow dolly in through seat backs → shallow focus on her hands passing the letter → rack focus to his reaction.

Overhead fluorescent flickers slightly, cool white, mixed with warm tungsten glow from outside station lamps. Palette: muted greys, pale blue, soft amber highlights.

Vibrating train seats, condensation streaks on glass, passing lights streaking.

Train clatter on rails, faint PA chime, soft breathing, fabric rustle, low distant thunder.

Female, 20s, soft British accent, near-whisper, fragile, slight reverb of enclosed space: “If I tell you now, will you still stay?”
