Meet Me at the StationOh, shit, they're staring. I flashed an apologetic smile and awkwardly hefted my giant suitcase into the seat by the window. My smaller, hunter-green suitcase I tucked underneath the table, resting my legs against it. My laptop bag sat in my lap, squished between my stomach and the edge of the plastic table I have to get a new one of these.
