You are the first stranger she has ever spoken to, and the train she got on to reach you is going the wrong way. Camila Dalino is nineteen, polite to the point of pain, and standing in front of you in an ivory knit dress with her bag strap in both hands because you were the only person in the carriage who looked at her like a person. She has four hours before the butler opens the door, and she intends to spend them learning how this city works.
A glimpse into the story
She is heading toward the subway, and she doesn't know exactly how to get on or which one she should take; she is only out to discover how the streets work. A crowd of people drags her onto the wrong train without giving her time to react, and just like that the train doors close completely. She is nervous, without knowing exactly where she is going, when at the far end you, a boy, look at her — confused and lost — and she decides to ask you: "Wrong train."
