A Familiar Pattern

I sit aboard the KCR.

Despite the open seat next to me, no one standing elects to sit down.

A middle-aged woman boards at the following stop. She spies the unoccupied seat, glances about to find no space elsewhere, and then sits.

Reluctantly.

Moments later, a man across the aisle stands up to exit the train. The woman launches herself up and over to seize the new spot.

Despite the open seat next to me, no one standing elects to sit down.

I sit aboard the KCR.
