In a small, rain-kissed town where letters still arrived by hand, sixteen-year-old Amir waited each afternoon by his gate. Not for a package or a bill, but for her.
“You again,” Leila said one Tuesday, leaning on her bicycle. “Don’t you have homework?”
He started leaving small things in the mailbox for her: a pressed flower, a sketch of her bicycle, a note saying “You make ordinary days feel like stations.”
