Why was it so hard to just pretend it didn't affect her so, but she couldn't pretend anymore, could she?
Walking past the full compartment after full compartment, she came to one with its door open and a lone person. It looked quiet, but she didn't want to intrude at all on the person inside. Maybe they too wanted to be alone and wouldn't want the intrusion. Biting her lip, she reached up and knocked on the door jam. "Um....hi. Do you mind if I join you?" she asked.
Evan, a little bit calmed down now that he was Marie-free and had a time for his own, opened his eyes at a voice he didn't recognise. He didn't recognise the face either, but it surely wasn't a newbie. He was caught off guard, and he had to think for a second before answering.
"Not at all, come in." he said as he straightened up. He then thought maybe it was better if he was alone. But the girl looked like quiet and nice. And she apparently couldn't find anywhere else to sit, or why disturbing him? No harm could be done by making another acquaintance, if not a friend.
"I'm Evan Cartwright." he said with a small smile. His smile was small, because that was all he could offer in this miserable mood. Hopefully the girl was friendly, and distract him for a while from his thoughts of his parents and Marie.
