Camille returns-this time to a journey that begins in silence and ends with a word she cannot forget. On a train bound for Marseille, she finds herself seated across from a stranger. Nothing is spoken, no intent declared-yet his presence sharpens the air, until every pause, every movement, becomes a line in a play she writes in her mind. In the stillness between stations, Camille imagines his lead, his claim, the quiet authority that might turn her into someone entirely his-if only in thought.
By the time the train arrives, nothing explicit has passed between them. And yet, the memory of him feels already written on her skin. A lyrical study of projection, longing, and the private theatre of the mind-when one stranger becomes the stage for another's desire. Perfect for readers who crave intimate, psychological fiction where the most powerful acts happen without a single rule being spoken.ca.
